Help in identifying these components
I must admit being a bonehead when it comes to my my RV electrics. I have 1998 Fleetwood Flair with the Ford 460 Chassis. The coach is 20 years old and things are popping up as fast as I can fix. But if something happens to the electrical side I'm doomed if I'm in the middle of nowhere. Can anyone help identify these components and what they are used for? I understand Number 3 is a Relay Delay Isolator but what the the heck is that? I'm sure the right people can help many of us understand what we have going on with protons and neutrons.
Thanks in advance!

We're probably going to need a photo.

#1 looks like one of these: https://www.grainger.com/product/6CJ...180411203921:s
CBC Series Automotive Circuit Breaker
Not sure about the rest.
Good luck.
Take care,
Stu

Agree-1- is a normal circuit breaker
2- is a constant duty solenoid to either join batteries together or isolate 12 volt system when you are away. I only see 1, class A usually have 2, sometimes 3 if you have the boost feature.
4- looks like a relay box...very light wires going into it to trigger it....Waterpump? on the left one(as there are 2 triggers) right one maybe electric steps?

#1, are both circuit breakers about 20 to 60 amps each. The tiny black button on the side may be the reset.
#2 is the boost and battery isolation relay. It combines the house and chassis batteries if you push the boost switch, OR # 3 sends it a signal.
#3, senses charging voltage, coming from the chassis battery. That happen when the engine is running and the alternator is charging the chassis battery. It actavates the isolation relay so the chassis battery charges the house battery, while driving.
The boost switch is to start the generator If the house batteries are low OR start the engine If the chassis battery is low.
#4, are the battery disconnect relays. One disconnects the chassis battery and the other disconnect the house battery. They are used for storage.
There should be marked switchs somewhere that operate them.

Thank you and the others who have responded with such helpful information. I'm starting to get a sense of what I have. I think for preventive purposes I will start to replace these components since they are coming up on 20 years. Great information!
