The isolator maybe located under the sink and should look like this one

If you don't have one its easy to install.

For some reason I thought a battery separator was standard on most Lance campers. I know mine has one. From my Lance manual:

The Battery Separator allows both the truck and the camper batteries to be charged from the truck alternator. The Battery Separator isolates the batteries, so that the truck battery will not discharge. The Battery Separator will begin charging the camper batter after the truck battery has reached at least 13.2 volts.

You may want to check and see if you have one before going too far down the underhood isolator road.

Yes Lance campers come with a battery seperator. If you don't have a manual, then contact Lance and ask.

I don't know what year 915 you purchased, but in 2005 it was an option included with the "Convenience" package. The package also included the outside shower, so if you have an outside shower you will also have a battery isolater.

Enjoy the 915, its a nice unit.

Thank you to everyone for the information. I am out to dig around and see what I have and read the manual.

On the other hand, I am an idiot and cannot type. I have a 195 not a 915. Too many of the same numbers....... Oh well, I never claimed genius.

I will post photos as soon as I figure it out.

Yup, a 195 is an older model, and may not have an isolator. One option is to call Lance's Customer Service with the serial number of your unit. They'll be able to tell you what was installed at the factory. There is an "800" number, but the one in my cell for Lance is 661-949-3322.
