I posted a while back about not having house electricity unless I started the engine. I called Fleetwood and I immediatly was put on the phone with a technician. He was very thorough at explaining to ...

Good for letting us all know the outcome. The one thing about battery voltage, and actually even 120 volt pole voltage..........if even ONE strand of the wire is still intact, the voltage will read correct. As soon as you try to draw any kind of a load(AMPS), is when the problem will show itself. Voltage measurements only take a very very small amount of current, which is why measuring the voltage at an RV park pole shows if power is present, but NOT if it has the capability to supply you with the 50 amps that you need for your coach. The same goes with battery voltage. Just because you read 12 volts on a voltmeter does not mean that your cables have the amperage capacity to turn over your starter.
