Follow up to some questions, no I could not identify the rating on the isolator because it was destroyed. I can only assume it was original but don't know for certain. I can tell you Newell must have had a problem because the new isolator is so large it will not fit in the rear compartment and had to be mounted (at Newell's instruction) under the coach.
The electrician confirmed the source of the fire to be the isolator, which fits with the overload theory. I just can't figure why some type of safety is not built in. The battery cables hook directly to the isolator. I can't find a fuse anywhere except the large (littlefuse) fuse between the battery ground and the cable, which did no good at all.
