Beckett, Bill, Ron, Dave, and everyone else who threw in their 2 cents' worth on
this one,

Thank you very much!!  I must say that I once again performed my traditional
function of straight-man (i.e., fool or idiot) in grand fashion!  :^)  By
stepping into the fray and not knowing one whit about what I was talking about, I
was able to elicit yet more useful information out of the list's electrowizards
unbeknownst to them.

Okay, okay, I'll stop now . . .  Seriously though, I have sat around in utter
confusion about how one would actually do this dual-battery install . . .  till
now.  I am very grateful for the clear and concise explanations of such a complex
(to us lay-people) issue.

Now, to open yet another Pandora's box (hey, it IS Friday after all!), does
anyone have any diagrams, pictures, descriptions on their web site showing how
they went about wiring up a fuse panel and connecting appliances to it?  I'm just
trying to discharge my fuelish responsibilities in an ample manner from
ohm-sweet-ohm . . .

Thanks again all for a truly enlightening discussion,
Marc Perdue
