Hi Gary; you're referring to the Hydrapro Alpha G-1600 # DH94FR. Most states require a separate battery by law so it is best to install a breakaway kit like the # 3802308. This ensures the breakaway will work all the time since the coach batteries could be drained and this has its own charger to keep it maintained.
