1985 Ford Citation Excella RV With Ford 460
Hi first time here, hoping someone might be able to help. I have purchased an old 1986 Ford Citation RV. It was in great shape and the price was right. Anyway I am having trouble getting the 12 volts...

Could be the auto-reset circuit breaker, as rvsmith mentioned.
It could be a bad connection or wire, as well. I think your best angle of attack may be to figure out what the various wires going to the battery end up going off to, and how things are wired up. That may be easier said than done.
This isn't what is causing your difficulties, but do please take care of that bad section on the positive lead of the chassis battery as soon as you can. That looks like a bad short circuit waiting to happen, and also looks somewhat corroded. A proper fix, of course, is to cut off the bad bit and attach the good wire to the battery clamp (or a replacement battery clamp if needed). Failing that, wrapping the bad bit well in some electrical tape would at least make it safer against accidental shorts.
