Mark the cables, then take a picture with your cellphone
Then remove the battery
BTW
Connections at the battery
If cables are
White and black
White is negative/ground , black is positive/plus
If calls are red and black
Red is positive and black is negative
Most likey you have White and black cables at the battery
And that confuses many people and they connect the battery backwards
Before you replace anything
Check the wiring at the battery
If in doubt, follow the wires see where the go, to ground or to inside the RV
The main positive usually goes to a little box with two studs, that is an auto reset thermal circuit breaker approx 40amps, they do go bad , a new one is a few $$ at pep boys etc..
