I am having problems with the old type of battery isolation system, (coach batteries losing charge) and also the emergency start system not operating. All of this now involves a couple of solonoids and other wiring on the street side of the engine compartment. I want to replace the whole thing with a good solid state isolator. Might anyone had a wiring diagram for the existing system? To get one from Damon is like pulling teeth!

Several things:
My coach batteries are draining, even though the ignition is off. I am thinking that it may be the dash stereo which should operate off of the house batteries when the ignition is of. all of my other "additional" 12V load (related to cellphone amplifier, and cell charger)is coming from the 12V source under the dash by the copilots seat

Then, with the above condition, my emergency start is not operating, even though my house batteries are up to 13.5V charge

Or perhaps the coach batteries are draining the coach battery. This all started within the past three months, just before we left Everglades National Park to come up here to Yelloswtone for the summer.

For info sake, I installed (4) more 6V batteries and a Xantrac 2000 inverter/charger along with (3) 120W solar panels.

I corrected the nomenclature. Any ideas on how to test to islolate the cause of the problem, or how to correct it?

Kayo, do a search on posts by forum member Hurricaner. He has posted wiring diagrams of battery control center and isolation relay wiring.
If you have the Intellitec battery control center, you can download service manual from Intellitec
