Hello everyone!--

My wife and I just inherited the use of a 1976 GMC Palm Beach from her father. I'll be working on and restoring it in return for use.

The PO has some VERY creative wiring going on in this thing, and I'm no electrician. (I'm sure non of you have ever heard this story before...)

Razz

I am hoping to pick the collective brain trust here, and restore this back to it's former beauty with your help.

My very first question is:

why would someone bypass the isolator? there are no wires running to it in this coach.

there are 5 (yes, 5) batteries in this coach. Two at the Onan, one next to the converter, one in the outside compartment near the door, and the chassis battery.

I cannot tell you which one the charger is charging.

any ideas?
