I found this on a wrecked motorhome. Seems like a great way to shut the batteries off totally. Just wondering about how to hook it up to the gmc, because of the batt boost switch. I need mine to be simple... for now. I just need to see if this takes the place of the boost switch, or if it can be used along with it. if it can be with it, does anyone have a wiring diagram?

Shawn,

I did (and still do) lots of boat work.
I first have to ask what you think you would like to do with it.
Is your boost switch still functional?
You don't have a sigfile, so I do not know what version GMC we are working on here.

Shawn also posted this and asked the same question on Facebook.
There is no easy way to use that in our coaches, but I will give him some options if he gets back to me.

I have decided against using this. I will simply replace the solenoid and all the battery cables... Now I have to get it through the body to the rear battery...
