'79 Excella Mystery Box
These shots show a box which was hidden behind the gaucho bed between the drivers seat and the water heater. 3 wires (#14?) feed it from the wall.
could this be a battery isolator? I have no idea, but it looks like there are slots for 4 batteries. Any help much appreciated.

1978 24' Airstream mystery box.
This MH is just like the '78 and probably '77 Argosys. These shots show a box which was hidden behind the gaucho bed between the drivers seat and the water heater. 3 wires (#14?) feed it from the wall.
could this be a battery isolator? I have no idea, but it looks like there are slots for 4 batteries. Any help much appreciated.

It looks like a doorbell. The thing in the center is a solenoid. comming out if it on the left (the spring loaded thing) is the plunger. when someone pushes the doorbell button, the solenoid pulles the plunger in. when the button is released the spring pushes the plunger back out to hit the chime. The black bar on the far left.

Now that you say it`s the doorbell, it makes sense. I can see the two rectangular bars that each create a tone.

I bet that is because the lighting bulb on the doorbell button is out!
