For all Intents and purposes

Have you looked at the wiring diagrams for the Intent 26M?

Yup several times. There is nothing labeled as a BIM. Closest thing in the diagrams is Aux Start Solenoid which is technically the same function (except dumber). In reality, I believe the Aux Start Solenoid is the DC Contactor and it is in the battery bay where you'd expect a BIM.

Actually it looks like that Aux Start Solenoid is really just for the temporary Chassis Batt Boost from the House Batteries. So it still looks like the DC Contactor is the the target for the BIM/DC-2-DC charger

I’m sure it’s somewhere in this thread but I will mention it again. When I swapped out the FLA batteries to Lithium batteries, I called battle born and gave them my specs for my alternator. They said that I was well within range and would not damaged my alternator to charge the four 100 amp hour batteries I installed.
I’ll add to that it was about three years ago and I haven’t had any problems at all.

Hey Wyatt!! Long time! Yeah, I've seen several threads discussing the same thing. It seems to be right around 200ah ppl said was fine. I'm putting in 2 x 230ah so I was just gonna cya with a Lithium BIM Iif there already was a LA BIM in the Intent. There doesn't appear to be so next I was looking just to put in the DC-2-DC charger but I wasn't sure wrt to the DC Contactor and the Aux Starter Solenoid where exactly it would go without losing the boost capability (not that I've ever used but who knows). I saw JLAs list and he put one in so I was hoping he could tell me where he wired it in at.

Hi Denny, Nice to hear you’re still around. Happy New Year!

Looking to buy new tires for our 26M. It currently has 245/70/19.5 Good Year G670 on it. They will be 8 years old since manufactured. Still look great, but its time. I would go with the same tires, but they are not available. Thinking of maybe Goodyear 647, or Hankook Smartflex H35, or suggestions?

For obvious reasons, most people on the Intent Facebook group are in a similar spot as you. Toyo seems to be the preferred tire, which has a cost benefit. A friend who owns an RV shop just put them on his Winnebago Horizon.
