jumper cable hookup
Using one of my 12 volt tow vehicle batteries to jump start my trailer generator.....what posts do I attach my positive and negative jumper cables to my two six volt golf cart batteries on the trailer.

- thats a 12v battery in (2) pieces
you attach to the ENDS,
the main positive going to the trailer
and the main negative aka going to ground
do NOT connect anything to cable or posts between the (2) 6v boxes
aka do NOT connect anything to the middle - And positive to positive, negative to negative.

well I think he probably should connect a connector between the two batteries in the middle.

Yes it is.
And to the O/P. You don't.
ON the Generator there should be a bolt, Big (quarter inch or bigger) with a red plastic cover more than likely and a large PLUS sign beside it.. Hook the RED cable to this bolt then to the POSITIVE battery terminal.
Negative hook first to the battery then to the CHASSIS on the generator.
Forget the batteries.
Leave connected till the transfer switch does it's thing and transfers since the jump battery is running the generator's fuel pump.- Just thought of another option......duh.....I'm paying for CoachNet. Let them do their thing! Thanks for the tips! The units still in storage and we're finally able to start planning some get aways .....I hope!
- Two six volts equal one " battery ", a battery is two or more cells connected continuously , positive to negative thus building volts , huh !

Yes and on the 6 volters, connect nothing to the center interconnected terminals.
And positive to positive, negative to negative.- will Coach Net do that for free? is it covered?
bumpy - IDK
That's a new one on me
Start your vehicle yes, tow your vehicle yes
Jump start your generator ?????
That's not a road side EMG - You're probably right......better plan on DIY!
