For those watching.
Larry and the Kingsly are safely in his driveway.
I spent a couple hours with him yesterday.
Summary,
Those of you that thought it might be the isolator;
It was bad, but it was already out of the picture. We have confirmed that and he had procured a replacement that he installed yesterday. It is still strapped out, but I will get to that.
Those of you that thought it was a tilt and ignition switch problem;
You were real close. The switch is not influenced to do strange things by the tilt, but it does them all on its own. It looks like one of the internal switches is out of phase. He got the original out and I sent him a list of part numbers.
Those that though it was an alternator problem;
I could not get proper output form the alternator no matter what I did. It appears to be new either a new Remy replacement or a nice rebuild. but we couldn't get it to make any juice. Larry is going to remove it and get it tested.
The house bank is toast. A single 4D - "Not just merely dead but really most sincerely dead" (Corner - Wizard of Oz). Larry is going to replace it with a pair of golf cart 6's. That is why the house battery is on the lawn and the isolator is strapped out. That way he has some power to the 12V house circuits.
We got the APU to crank off the engine battery with the boost circuit, but it did not fire. That was no real surprise. That is on his list.
The coach is in very nice shape and was well taken care of.
