Starting button from house battery
I have a Leprauchan 2017 260 DS does anyone know if there is a starting button if cab battery is dead? I had one on my previous RV but can't find one on this one. It used house batteries to start if cab was dead.

Did you look on the side of the drivers seat by chance?

Thanks, I will check that out when I go to storage to start it to keep batteries charged.

you may have an 'emergency start' or 'aux' switch, which ties the Chassis and House batteries together for just this type of situation.

I believe this is the question asked by the OP. Want's to know if there is one on his unit.

We have a 2018 Leprechaun RS210. It does not have the Emergency or Aux switch. Try using a set of jumper cables.

I don't need it now but my first RV had one and I am just curious if there is one on the 260DS. I know jumper cables will work plus I have a portable jumper.

Based purely on the fact that the RS210 doesn't, I'm guessing your 260DS doesn't either.

How does that switch work? I took my seat out to get at fuse's and relays and I'm not sure I pluged the wires on the switch back correctly.

In my ex Four Winds there was a button below the steering wheel, if your coach battery was dead, you pressed button and it drew from your house battery to start your engine.

The switch under my seat only has 2 wires and 4 connections. They are attached to the 2 top pins. Yours may vary. Neither wire had power.
