After reviewing the Bentley, I see that the cabin light runs off the same circuit as the front light, radio, etc. (all from fuse #3). So it would seem that with one fell swoop, I could put all these devices on the auxiliary battery circuit by bypassing the connection to the main battery. Is this as simple (ha) as disconnecting the main battery lead from the fuse panel and running a "hot" wire from my battery bank to this fuse?

Thanks again.
