Re: Alternator, Isolator or both? Reply #50 – January 29, 2022, 11:45:13 am Quote from: Chuck & Jeannie – January 29, 2022, 11:38:20 amI believe the 2001 U320 is going to have a different setup from the older coaches with the single ignition solenoid. On newer coaches it is not as simple to substitute the (excellent) Blue Sea unit.On Mike & Molly's coach there should be two ignition solenoids, located behind the beauty panel in front of passenger, at the bottom center on circuit breaker/wiring board. They are black square looking and will have Bosch markings. Much bigger than a standard relay. Each solenoid controls 1/2 the circuits on the board. See photos in link below:Ignition solenoid on a u320Chuck,You are correct. The newer coaches with higher "ignition hot" circuits amp loads use two ignition solenoids. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Jimmy and I will try to pull together a list of items we ordered and used as we would have found that extremely useful. We left room for Orion expansion if needed later on.Managed to break the cord for the block heater... so there's another project! Quote Selected 1 Likes

Otherwise, hard to do it without making a mess. Quote Selected
