I would add on our camper nothing would turn off power to jacks.
Giving up after searching camper-got out the jacks install literature, said to wire jacks directly to battery. So looked and sure enough-power & ground went directly to batt junction terminals with 2 inline thermal breakers (front & rear). I added inline 50 amp toogle switches. So if camper mfg follows jack mfgs recommendation-(Atwood in my case) not unusal to find them wired directly, though I think most have ability to disconnect power.
to BCBigfoot106-I wouldnt add the isolator- You will get longer run times & better battery performance running in true parralel, treating as one big battery.
HMSbeagle-Great project. Though I usually notify author by PM you dont accept pms- added to the TCU thread.
