Remote battery disconnect
I have a 02 Roadtrek built on a Chevy 3500. Looking at adding a selector switch so when van is sitting I can charge the van battery also. Simple enough to add a couple wires and switch to the isolator...

Thanks for the responses. I would not be running starting current through it. A simple mod and a piece of heavy wire to jump the isolator for charging vehicle battery on shore power. I have a battery switch in my junk, I do not see a convenient place to put it.
The more I look at it the less confidence I have so will use a relay/solenoid.
What you posted, however you use it, if it’s hooked to the start battery it will have starting current going through it when you hit the key. However you’re correct in believing that what you posted is not part of the equation to get you charging your start battery off of house shore power (converter).
Nor is a dc dc charger that was suggested. I think they mis understood what you want to charge and when.
