I can't speak for other units, no doubt I got the lemon... [emoji58] I honestly dread walking into it, each time it's either the same issue or another one. Some have been addressed but then a new one pops up. I need to figure out the electrical issue, plus my awning leaked in a spot that appears to be where two mounts are joined together, didn't see this set up on other Isata's, the mount is one piece or at least appears that way, the dealer sealed the crap out of it but now it leaks in the same spot plus two others... just can't win...

When i posted about this brian replied that there is a device (can't remember the name) that allows the rig to connect chassis and house batteries for charging purposes. After you turn off your manual disconnect turn on something that uses a fair amout of power ( not led light) and the power should disconnect shortly.

bird or pos
