Bob,
Just for your info, neither the Trik-L-Start or, its bigger brother, the Amp-L-Start are "battery chargers or maintainers". All those two units do is, siphon off, some of the amperage/voltage that is intended to go to the house batteries and, send it to the chassis batteries. The Trik-L-Start is max rated to siphon off, 5 amps max. The Amp-L-Start is rated to siphon off a max of 15 amps. I'm not exactly sure why any of the install instructions say to pull the fuse for the solar panel but, obviously there's a reason. I've never heard of those instructions. I installed the Amp-L-Start in my '04 Itasca Horizon 36GD with the C-7 330HP CAT, about 5+ years ago and, don't recall anything about the solar panel fuse.
