I've got a couple 30amp RV receptacle in the shop, but I just plug into a 15A with an adapter and leave the large cord in the coach. That way I don't trip over the large cord when working in the shop.

The worries about the 0.7V drop across the isolator is a non-issue because the voltage sense line to the alternator is connected to the engine battery. The alternator will output a slightly higher voltage to make up for this. There is likely more voltage loss across the #10 wire from the alternator to the isolator than there is across the isolator itself.

I did the combiner across the isolator installation. It makes for a quick and clean installation, and takes some load off the combiner.

Unless it was a high amperage rate combiner, I would not use the Start boost function in them.

The GMC holds the beer fridge for the shop so I need to keep the fridge going too Smile
