Larry, I used the same one MM showed above.

It has worked great, EVEN though I installed it myself ?

Mike and Gary S. thanks for the input. I thought I had it narrowed down until I saw the selection.

Gary, since you installed one, you think I can as well? Thanks for your faith. I'll be installing mine on a Country Coach---everyone knows the BOOGYMAN designed that electrical system. I have the diagrams that MM and someone else posted so it will be OK.

This is a timely subject. I have just replaced the 4 chassis batteries. The ones that were replaced were only 2 1/2 years old. I thought it was only Marathon that didn't provide a charging system for the chassis batteries (that shows how much I know) but obviously CC is the same way. Could someone provide me with the link to hard wire the charger. Additionally how does everyone control the charger. I have a 120 Volt plug for the block heater that I can turn on and off in the cockpit, is this acceptable? What would you advise? Thanks

Harbor Patrol,

Everyone I know uses the outlet for the block heater.

Except Dale who uses this time tested method of electrical generation.

Elliot if I understood the question you are wondering if you could move the the a/c source for the block heater ,that you probably almost never use, and hook it to a chassis charger so you can control it from the cabin?

Yes

If you have the block heater plugged in an outlet that is wired to the switch I would change that.

The outlet would be always live, just the accessories would be on switches. It would require 1 additional junction box. All the wires you need to do that are already in place.

Ours is like this.

I suppose I could use the breaker for that outlet in the cabin as a switch. Great Idea for the holidays.

[HarborBus]

Yes, that's what I am asking. Or do you just plug it in somewhere else?

[Joe Cannarozzi]

Is the outlet itself on the switch and the block heater pluged in to it?

[HarborBus]

Yes, the outlet is on the switch in the cockpit. The block heater isn't plugged into it and I would never use it, I avoid cold weather like the plague.
