there is also a 3 post solenoid up front in the generator compartment. The small lug is receiving 14V while the engine is running but the two larger posts only have 12.5V. The wire on the top lug comes directly from the house batteries.
The one up front is the IGNITION side components of the dash systems
The one in the rear is your charge solenoid. NO, you cannot use just any solenoid. You must get a solenoid that is for CONTINIOUS duty. Just ask for one that is for continous duty. For instance, a lot of people think a Ford solenoid will work, but a Ford starter solenoid is for momentary duty, not continous. NAPA would be a good place to get one as well as Tiffin. Doug
