I decided to develop a 12V wiring diagram for reference, because I can’t remember anything anymore. I have one wire that I labeled "Panel Charge Circuit" I believe is a second battery charge wire that house to be disconnected from the batteries and still charge. I need to investigate to make sure I'm correct, but thought I would ask if anyone seen this before? Thanks Jim

I could be misunderstanding, so forgive me if I am... But, I think the "Panel Charge Circuit" would be for a installed "Converter/Charger" unit? (like in the link I have added) http://www.wfcoelectronics.com/UI/ProductsListing.aspx?cm=c1&mcid=1... or http://www.wfcoelectronics.com/UI/ProductsListing.aspx?cm=c1&mcid=1...

Mr Steve, I have a similar control panel installed and reviewing the wiring diagram the normal charge circuit is connected to the House disconnect. So when the shore line is connected and the disconnect is open the batteries do not charge, when it is closed it will charge. Now the wire in question I believe is a second charge circuit to allow batteries to charge while the disconnect is open. I believe the disconnect was installed to save the batteries for draining. Jim

While Whisper was working on lights. I was ringing out wires. Come to find out what I thought was the charge circuit was a not. It is a non switched trailer load light feed. This means I have to have the house disconnect closed for the batteries to charge.
