My Four Winds has a similar arrangement and that lug is electrically isolated from the frame. From that lug, the +ve is distributed to the isolation relay and the disconnect relay and to the switches that activate them. A continuity check between the lug and the frame would prove isolation. __________________________________________________ Cliff 2011 Four Winds Chateau 23U MDKMDK • View posts Canada Senior Member Joined: 10/15/2008 View Profile Posted: 12/01/20 01:57pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Insufficient input data for efficient analysis/diagnosis, or to suggest reliable resolutions/answers/advice. The most common answer is, a positive (+) battery terminal.

Most common would probably be much as ndorder describes: it goes to the battery isolation (continuous duty) relay, the house battery disconnect (latching) relay, and the generator's 12V power connection. That said, there are many variations in the exact details.

Make sure cables are not shorting before starting the test.

Here is a related link with interesting info a pics of a members setup. Its just for general related info. https://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/28895570/print/true.cfm gnikregrub • View posts RV New Member Joined: 12/01/2020 View Profile Offline Posted: 12/02/20 07:48am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks All. I am concluding that the red positive battery cable is not connected to the frame (of course) and instead an insulated junction post as ndorder and others are pointing out. Thanks as well for the tips to validate this conclusion. Here is a closer up image in case it helps others down the road.
