Battery Isolator location

If you don't find it you could disconnect the battery if it is charged up & it shouldn't run down. I have left car battery's disconnected all winter without them running down

That might be why I can't fincould disconectd one. I don't think the battery for the

generator is being charged so perhaps there is a soleniod not

working. I need to get that fixed so that I can put the bus into my

storage spot. I am concerned that I will have starting problems and I

want to be certain that I can start the generator so that if needed I

can charge the house and engine start batteries (which on my coach

are one in the same). I want to but the bus under cover but I am

afraid to move it way from 110 until I am confident that it will

start. Any more information would be appreciated.
