Can Redarc Smart Start Battery Charger # 331-SBI212D Allow Charge of Two Batteries
Question:
I discovered that on my motor home when plugged into shore power, the coach battery gets charged, not the chassis battery.The alternator will charge both batteries with engine running. The current isolator solenoid has power from coach battery but won’t transfer through to chassis battery.. My current setup has a switch on dash to use coach battery for emergency starting vehicle. Will this Redarc product solve my issue and will it be difficult to wire in ? Your advice has been spot on when I purchased front and rear sway bars from etrailer, what a difference.

Yes, the Redarc Smart Start Battery Isolator # 331-SBI212D will allow you to have both batteries charging when connected to shore power. You'd need to put this inline with the charge that is currently going to the one battery so that you can run a charge wire to both batteries from it.
