Solve whatever issues you have befor you add anything.  Stay focused.  An APC will have no effect on your problem.  There is time to learn about options, right Gene?

what ever floats your boat

the apc is here, in this case , to eliminate false alternator light
indications,
http://www.gmcmotorhome.info/engine.html#ALTLIGHT

*INSTALL A DIODE TO STOP THE DIM STATUS LIGHT*
Cut the brown wire going to the idiot lamp. Insert a 25 cent Radio Shack
diode in the line in any direction. Turn on the ignition to test. If the
light comes on, you're done, just start the coach and watch the light .go
out If the lamp does not come on with the ignition, reverse the diode (end
for end) and you're done. Get a Radio Shack part number 276-1102 or
similar. (John Dolan)

or

Plug in an APC cable to stop this problem

The APC installation is so simple to install. It is really a less than 5 minute installation.

I do not understand why you would not do it. What I also like is it is also simple to remove for testing if you ever thought it was causing a problem though I have never heard of one failing.

Gene has got literally hundreds and hundreds of them out there installed.
