Thank guys that is just what I needed.

On my rig the battery box and the area for the refrigerator controls are next to each other and both are accessible through hatches on the outside, so I mounted the battery charger in the refrigerator area, and drilled a hole through the adjoining wall, and ran the battery charger wires directly to the coach battery. I normally run a outdoor extension cord from the battery charger to a outlet. I do not normally have shore power hooked up since the battery has plenty of juice for what I use in the Sea Breeze now, but that will change in a few months when I want to run the air conditioner. There is a 120V AC receptacle in the refrigerator area for powering the refrigerator when I am plugged into shore power and I could plug the battery charger into it, but I don't because I don't know how having two such dissimilar chargers hooked to the coach battery would affect the battery. I would like to disconnect the battery charger built into the 6300 power center so I can plug the modern battery charger into the refrigerator receptacle when I am plugged into shore power and charge the coach battery rather than take the chance that the old battery charger would boil the battery dry. I have a Series 6300A Model 6325 CNGJ power converter. Just so you folks know I am a electronics technician and work with both AC and DC circuits and equipment all the time. If you can just point me to the general area I can probably figure it out. The schematics that I have leave a lot to be desired.

Does anybody know how to disconnect the built in battery charger on my 1988 Sea Breeze? I added a 3 stage modern battery charger for maintaining/charging the battery. But I would like to disconnect the old system so it doesn't ruin the battery at some point. I have a Series 6300A Model 6325 CNGJ power converter.

In my 1988 Sea Breeze the fuse is in a holder behind the TV antenna box. Pull the box out and look along the red wire there is a white fuse holder on mine with a glass fuse. I agree that if the red light is on the fuse is ok. The cigarette plug socket is available at any auto parts store for a few bucks, get the heavy duty one if you are going to use a inverter on it.

The picture is pretty good, I can see to backup easily and the camera provides marks to judge distances. The rearview mirror mounted display makes backing up very similar to backing up my minivan. When I am driving it gives a very similar experience to driving with a rear view mirror. The camera has 18 infrared LEDs built into it. In low light they light up every thing for quite aways, the picture is in black and white but perfectly clear. When I get a chance I will post some pictures.

My system is 100 watt Renology solar suit case with a 30 AMP PWM Controller and 10 gauge landscape wire. Used 45 AMP Anderson Pole connectors to plug it together. I run the wire out the shore hatch to allow me to put the solar panels as much as 25' away. Renology has a bunch of good calculators on their website to help size wire and such. I also have a chain with a Alarm lock attached between the toy and the solar panels.

I put a backup camera on my 1988 Seabreeze. I bought the camera, monitor, and wireless transmitter and receiver on eBay for less than $50. The camera is the same one on the Winabago in another post, it is even mounted in the same place, it was $13 from China. The wireless setup was $7 also from china. The monitor is 7 inchs and designed to mount on the rear view mirror, it was about $25. The system work pretty good but power for the wireless transmitter was a problem so I bought a 30 foot cable from Amazon for $10 and ran it down the back and under the Seabreeze to the cab through a hole in the firewall. The rest was easy, I hooked the power for the camera and the monitor to the ignition switch so the system comes on when I turn the key. I ran the video cable up to the monitor on the rear view mirror through the molding on the driver's side post, it just snaps off, and behind the windshield trim, there is a wire channel there and the trim just pulls off, everything is hidden and the system works just like a rearview mirror.
