+1 ntsqd.  That approach obviously works well too.  And I really like that marine duplex wire!

Here's the schematic for my '04 Hawk as I received it ( 3 previous owners).

I always figured I'd clean this up before posting, but here it is warts and all.

Lot's o' chicken scratches . . . But it's probably the similar  to your Eagle.

Note the frequent swapping of White/Black +/-, very confusing to work on, at least for me.

The surepower isolator was mounted just forward of the Iota IDP-30 distribution center.

The Norcold compressor fridge was connected directly to the battery (Red/Black wires), no fuse at battery end (Bad!). There were no fuses anywhere on the solar stuff (Black/Blue wires) which proved unfortunate, story here.

 

Eventually, I removed the Iota panel (replaced with a blue sea panel), along with most of the AC circuitry as I prepared for a some other mods, someday I'll get to them. Everything is now fused at the battery (As it should be) by a blue sea kit.

Hi wuck - Thanks for pulling together the wiring diagram, it's really helping me sort out the funky electrical in my 2005 Hawk. One thing I can't figure out,

Hi wuck. Your "warts and all" schematic has been unbelievably helpful in my current Hawk electrical upgrade effort. Despite the help, I'll likely put my electrical ignorance on full display here.  On my camper, I'm not seeing your "safety ground" between the bus near the isolator and the AC ground bus in the IDP-30.  I'm also not seeing a ground wire to the frame from that bus near the isolator.  Without a ground to frame there, it's not clear to me how the circuit is completed between the isolator/battery and the IDP-30.  Should there also be a neg wire between the DC load bus and the near-isolator bus? Everything works fine...

 Thanks so much for the diagram! That's exactly what I needed!!

ntsqd, et al,

PKYS is also a good source for marine quality electronics and electrical supplies (e.g. Victron, Anchor, etc).

I have found their prices to be competitive and their customer service to be good.
