OMG, I forgot I wrote this!
So, my RV house battery hasn't been charging by coach motor as supposed to be (I think). Much research and tinkering to find out why, or if it's even supposed to. I found a very helpful post online...

Re: Hot solenoid
I installed the Intellitec + a DPDT momentary switch and it works great. No more current drain.

Re: Hot solenoid
I've been wondering why there is a need for this solenoid at all. It appears to simply act as a switch. Marko uses a knife blade switch; simple enough. Why not run appropriate sized wires to...

Re: Solar panel on roof
Preciate all the input. I don't think the cigarette lighter charges or draws from the RV battery. Would have to disconnect the car battery to see if there's still 12v at the lighter. However will...

I just bought a small 5 watt solar panel to install on the (fiberglass) roof of my 94 Ford Coachmen. Primary use to keep the battery charged while RV is not in use. If I like it, I can add more...

Re: house batteries not charging completely from vehicle battery
I recently had a similar problem. Turned out to be a 60 amp fuse blown in the fuse box in under the hood of the 1994 Ford. Fix is easy, trouble shooting is more difficult.
