Isolator or separator ?
I have a Roadtrek 2006 210V on a Chevy chassis. Is there an easy way to determine if I have an isolator or a separator by just looking at it from the outside ? I know some people will suggest using a ...

ISOLATOR or SEPARATOR
In my Battery system combiner setup I am not able to use a DIODE BASED unit as the voltage drop across the diodes is about the same as the difference between SMART MODE BULK charging voltages and ABSORPTION charging voltages. For charging my deep cycle batteries I need to be using 14.4VDC-13.6VDC-13.2VDC charging voltages and if the ISOLATOR is a High Current DIODE based unit their internal voltage drop across the diodes will not be compatible with the required deep cycle battery charge voltages.
Make sure the BATTERY COMBINER is a smart solenoid relay item. Blue Sea and Sure Power Industries sell them on AMAZON...
I would suggest picking up a cheap MULTIMETER from WALMART-LOWES. They only cost $7-$20...
Harbor freight used to give you one for free with purchases.
If you want to get serious about troubleshooting your RV you really need to have one.
