Slide power source
Do the slides run directly off the house battery, when hooked to shore power?

Hi Doug
Yes positive - speaking for my chassis and a few friends chassis all Itasca's
A quote from the service manual
"Chassis Battery
The chassis battery is used to operate the
engine starter and automotive accessories and
controls found on the instrument panel. The
slideout room systems and the electric step are
also connected to the chassis battery."
I am sure you are well aware Winni has great detailed schematics for most of their stuff. The amount of detail they include has made the several modifications I have made over the years a lot easier. Both Winni and Workhorse IMO have wonderful easy to understand documentation. Both of them are "as built" detailed documentation for my coach.
Like several others I added a disable switch for the "boost" relay connection activated by the ignition switch. I do not want or need the alternator to charge my house batteries all the time. The 560 watt solar system does that for me.
