Jumpstart from auxiliary battery
I had to call roadside assistance to jump start my 2008 Roadtrek 170 today. I understand there isa way to jump start from the auxiliary battery from the isolator in the engine compartment using a pai...

Ok, I had the opportunity to try a terminal to terminal jump on the isolator, and it worked just fine.
Earlier in this thread I mentioned that the Jump&Go was possibly under recall, but the manufacturer hadn't responded to my email. The manufacturer has since responded, and said that a few units were under recall, but I should be able to buy one from another Walmart. I went to another Walmart and bought one without incident. I wanted some auxillary power for my iPad anyway, so this is a good multi-purpose solution.
Also, I had noticed that the battery was an AC/Delco, which made me suspect that the battery had never been replaced on the 2007 chasis of the 2008 Roadtrek 170. So I bought a new battery as well.
With roadside service, jumper cables, the ability to jump from the auxilliary battery via the isolator, and a new battery, maybe, just maybe, I'm covered.
If I still have troubles, I'll start troubleshooting for current leaks.
I appreciate all the replies and ideas.
