Iota converter hook up
Question. Anyone have experience with iota converters?
This is my electrical pertaining to mine. How should I hook up wiring to converter. TIA. (aimed towards electrical type folks)
ps: The engine battery circuit shows 12v only when ignition is 'on-running' or 'start' positions.

Converter only connects to house battery and house loads, lights, pumps, fans....

You use a isolation solenoid like a BIM160 to charge the chassis battery from the house battery.

That way when there is no charging source, the house battery can be drawn down without drawing down the chassis battery.

With Twinboat and David. Connects just like the existing converter.
