Newell recommends replacing the merge solenoid regularly (once a year in most cases) but I find that on my coach that is overkill even if I leave the merge switch on 24/7. Incidentally, when you start the coach, the merge solenoid is automatically activated as long as the engine is running.
Should I leave the merge switch on when not running but on shore power? Will this keep the chassis batteries charged? I start it at least weekly and run the gen set every 3-4 weeks
with both A/C units on.
