Need to replace starting batteries.

[Ron Thompson]

Make sure it is not there for electric brakes on a tow or charging a break away battery.

To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, May 7, 2011, 2:31 PM Hello Ron, I just traced the "Orange Wire". It went back to the Electrical connection for the trailer Hitch. I was the second owner of the coach. The previous owner must have used this to charge his car battery or maybe a trailer light. I am just going to remove it.

It looks like the hot side of the batteries are attached to an isolated bolt on a piece of aluminum behind the bank of batteries. The negative sides are also attached to two bolts on the piece of aluminum. One at the start of the batteries and one on the other end of the batteries. My only concern is this orange wire with an inline fuse attached to the plus side of the first battery. Not sure what this is for. Could not find any info in my documentation. > > Thanks > > Nelson > > Westminster, Md 40ft WB > > > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Fred Hulse" wrote: > > > > > > Hi Nelson > > > To buy batteries for your chassis it’s a good idea to buy from a supplier you do business with and will be there for you if you have any warranty issues in the future. > > > There should be a Cole Hersee battery switch just above the batteries on the firewall you need to turn to the off position before doing any work.Also remove any 110 V > > > source and turn of the inverter(s).Use baking soda and water for cleaning the tray and cables also.Just remember battery acid is corrosive. > > > It is also a good idea to take a picture of the setup before you begin in case you are interrupted for any reason. > > > Fred & Jeanne Hulse > > > Morristown,Arizona > > > 97 WLWB41 > > > >
