While it's great to have a full set of manuals complete with wiring diagrams, I've found they're woefully lacking when it comes to certain aspects. Specifically the generator and converter. They show the generator feeding directly into the chassis harness, no bother about the 120VAC to 12VDC conversion. They don't show the converter at all nor do they show the fuse panel above the converter and its associated circuits, at least not that I've found.
Looking at the wiring diagram seems to indicate that both batteries are charged when the generator is running or when plugged into shore power but I don't believe that's correct, at least it's not happening with my coach. But if I'm correct, what's the purpose of the battery diode? Unless your feeding both circuits, they both are already separate. And you can bridge them momentarily with the Battery Boost switch. And I've complicated my issue by relocating the house battery to a custom tray up front with the engine battery. While everything seems to function as it should if I'm correct that the engine battery doesn't get charged along with the house one. So again, why the diode bridge between them?
