I hope I am not going to start a flame session but I have to ask for opinions on this.
First some background:
When we first bought the current GMC in 2017 when we started home we had several issues
A dead alternator, a iffy battery (due to age), a battery isolater that was open going to the chassis battery.
While sitting in a campground I changed the alternator only to discover the isolater was open to the chassis battery.
I replaced the isolater also.
About 2 years ago while we had the coach a Sirums, Jeff had to replace the isolater again because it was open to the chassis battery.
Right now I am reading almost 20 volts on the center post of the isolater and 11.9 on the chassis battery.
My question is can I just eliminate the isolater by putting the combiner in place of it and taking the lead from the alternator and wiring it directly to the chassis battery.
Or am I overlooking something.
