  1. Has anyone sealed the upholstery to a metal door on a Sunrader. Ours is loose and I'd like to seal it before winter. Thank you.
  2. Thank you, this is information I will give mechanic tomorrow.
  3. Thank you. I will copy your posts for the mechanic tomorrow.
  4. On the sun reader wiring diagram published it shows the isolator/solenoid connected to the alternator. The shop had wired the alternator directly to the starting battery. Is this incorrect? Apologies for electrical wiring ignorance.
  5. Thank you to both Linda and you. Very helpful. The mechanic who put on the alternator has a shop only 4 blocks away. I will call him tomorrow.
  6. Thank you again. I'll try to get some voltage readings. Also, I just went out this morning to start it and it started ok. However, after 5 -10 minutes, the battery light and the brake light came on in the dash. Stumped why that would happen.
  7. The lights on the dash and the radio worked, It would not crank. So as one mechanic at the RV place told me that I could charge the camper battery by plugging it in, and even though the camper battery had shown power by the home visiting mechanic, I thought what the heck. I turned on shore power, plugged in the RV shore power to my home electricity for 7 hours, returned, and the RV started. Does this mean someone incorrectly wired my camper battery to the starter? Thank you for your help.
  8. New member. We’ve been having battery problems for several years. Replaced the starter, then the inverter(?) board in the cabin of the RV, then the alternator. Recently the ’87 sunrader would not start. An RV mechanic came to our house and said the cables were not connected correctly. He changed them, got the vehicle to start. But the next day the RV would not start again. Can you tell from these photos anything more? Is the item bordered in red my isolator? We see the solenoid is rusty, so we are replacing that. Help. My husband has a broken leg and can’t get out to the vehicle to assist the mechanic who will be arriving on Tuesday. I’d like to make sure he knows which is the isolator. IIRC, he didn’t seem to recognize the fixture bordered in red here. (I am a literature major, no knowledge of vehicles, but trying to learn.) Thank you in advance.
