12v DC system failing sporadically
I have a 1997 Tioga Montara (Ford E350 V10 engine). Nice rig, works well. I disconnected from shore power 110v, and suddenly the 12v DC battery systems would not work. Lights, fan, water pump, etc...

When mine went bad I took my rig to Camping World to diagnose.Exactly the same thing I told the Service writer that it was intermittent on 12 volt. They plugged unit in to check. Of course it worked through the converter.
When I got the unit back the 12 volt did not work in the parking lot of CW but it still worked intermittently. My wallet was lighter but I still had the problem. Enough venting though.
What was wrong was the Battery disconnect had gone bad and it only made connection part of the time.
Looked like this
Part cost $12.00 plus the time Camping World ripped me off for. So about $212.00 all in.
