Can someone please give me some advice on Battery Wiring on a 1976 Birchaven 23 Foot. I am not sure if I have some Creative Wiring or if it is the Original Wiring but on the Passenger Side of the Coach I have Two Batteries. These Two Batteries have a Wire that Connects them Together. I think one is the Battery that Starts the Motorhome and the other is for the Generator. On the Drivers Side, there is Another Battery and this one is for the Coach Lights. Can any one tell me if this Wire that connects the two Batteries together on the Passenger side of the Coach is the way it was Originally suppose to be?

Hi Mike, Thank You for helping me. The Two Batteries on the Passenger Side are 12 Volt Batteries and there is a Wire running from one to the other. I called the Battery Dealer who put the new batteries in to ask why the wire was there conncecting the two - & he said that it the way it was wired when it was towed in by the previous owner. When the Battery Isolator went out - the Mechanic put a New Wire back on connecting the Two & said it was suppose to be on there. The Battery Dealer had a Thin Wire on it and the Mechanic put a heavier wire on. The RV Dealer who is checking on a few things on the coach, at first thought the wire shouldn't be on there - but after a little investigating is now thinking it makes more sense for it to be on there. I sent a wiring diagram to the RV Dealer a few days ago from the link for the wiring on a 75/76 Birchaven and he said it wasn't quite like mine. It is still at the RV Dealer now. I really Appreciate Your Help - bes
