Chassis Battery - 2018 Vista32YE

Odd that the manual dies not point out the (motor starting) battery.
Appreciate your assistance to a newbe.

Hi Sooeey. I'm not sure what is your question. Are you trying to find the starting battery (it is located under the entry step) or looking for a recommendation on what battery to buy to replace it?

Also, if your starting battery is dead, you can still use the boost switch on your dashboard to start the engine from the house batteries.

Info on Rv is often setout by who made that part. Unlike a car or truck, the RV is a "collection" of parts made by different builders and each of those builders are expected to handle their parts. Like at our house, perhaps? The builder may do the wood, etc. but the frig, stove and furnace are still for those other folks to handle!

And that leads to the next questions as you should have a bag of info with each of the major parts having a manual to help. There should be a manual with chassis info in that bag.
One reason for this system may be the way RV are built on what is called a "stripped chassis" that they buy from the other folks. That means the RV builder rarely knows much about what the chassis builder has done, other than where the RV and chassis connect together.

Sure they do! It's in your Operator's Manual. Section 6 - Electrical. There's even a photo of your battery bay and the chassis and house batteries are identified.
