Wow. I am so glad I checked in here. I have been searching on the internet about how to wire in a battery switch to my Ark Pak. My situation is similar to the one below this thread, but I did not want to detract from it. My current setup is: My starter battery goes to a Blue sea fuse block with negative terminals. I have 2 Positive leads from the Fuse block that run to the back of my Flippac. One lead has a relay and a switch so that I can turn power to it on and off from the cab. Both of these leads have Anderson connectors. In my Flippac, I have another Blue Sea fuse block that I have all of the camper accessories run from. That fuse block also has an anderson connector coming off of it. As it stands now, I can manually connect the camper "house" accessories to be run from the Ark Pak or from either the direct line from the main battery or the line with a switch. I want to throw in a Marine 4 pole switch to be able to switch back and forth from the two batteries. I also want to be able to charge the Ark Pak while driving with the anderson connectors And monitor the charge with a simple button style voltmeter up front. If I use a 4 position switch, will the alternator charge both batteries while in "Both" mode or will it just charge the first battery in line, the starter battery.
