But remember that if you can't find a remote sensing alternator like you
want, adding a combiner will eliminate the voltage drop across the isolator.On Mon, Nov 23, 2020 at 11:35 AM Mark Sawyer via Gmclist <

Yes, but it will not compensate for the rest of the losses in the system. The fusible link is an example of only one of the voltage loss culprits. IIRC the remote sense is connected to the terminal on either the horn or fan relay. Both of these are after the fusible link.

Yes a combiner will fix the isolator drop problem but not anything else
like cables losses at a 150 or so amps.

I think a installing a one wire alternator is looking for low voltage problems in several places on the coach.
