What year is your bus as Ford did the aux battery hookup different between the years . On my bus I wound up using a 12V constance duty solenoid relay to charge up the aux battery. That worked fine till I went with dual alternator few years back.
mine is a 2002 E350 with a Diamond coach. I’ve never owned a multi battery vehicle before and this is my first bus. I was going to start the bus and see if I have 13 volts to charge the coach battery. I’m not really mechanical and being rural, seems no one knows much about them either.
