generator weirdness

[dhardy1944]

First, to Ernie, thanks for your comments about not knowing what a
diode is unless it says diode. I love you man. Second, the rediline
was dead when I bought the coach. I didn't know it, didn't know what
a rediline was or even that I had one. It has been replaced with a
Xantrex 2500 inverter/charger. I know the area and there are three
relays?: two on the bottom of the compartment and one I believe on
the forward wall. Maybe the diode is close to it. Also, are these
relays the same or is each one a different animal? I will be leaving
for church shortly, but will check for posts later tonight. We are
supposed to have rain coming, but maybe it will wait until I can
check some more. Thanks again so very much.
