by John Slaughter.  Excellent simulator of the electrical system. Allows you to visualize the 12 V system (house battery and engine alternator), the 110 V AC systems (generator, shore power), the charger/inverter, and their interconnections, with various components on or off. His notes (.pdf file, 336 KB) are also well worth reading and provide good explanations of the isolator, battery separator, and other important components.
