12V power issue
Hi, So last year we upgraded from a travel trailer to a 2000 Damon Challenger. This is the first unit we have had with onboard batteries. Our problem is that the batteries do not seem to charge. L...

OK, so thanks for the clarification between "neutral" and "negative". Understood the concept, not the phrasing :)
I redid all the suspect wiring over the weekend. Cut all the wires back beyond the corrosion and reconnected with split bolts, which I taped (plastic - rubber - plastic) separately and secured so they don't bounce around. Now it seems everything is working great. I'm still showing a small voltage drop (~0.25v) and I suspect I have a ground connection somewhere that is corroded or suspect. After running everything in the unit I could for a few hours, the wires were still stone cold, so I think that problem is solved.
Now on to figuring out why the step doesn't work now - thinking it may be related to my last little bit of voltage drop. But - I'll play with it and put a new post out if I can't figure it out.
Would there be any issues with removing the step entirely and working on it on my workbench instead of laying on the ground under the motorhome?
