Calling on Solar Techies
I have been thinking of going solar for some time and decided to pull the plug. My wants are a 400 to 500 watt system. I have four 12 volt batteries with 340ah. I am not planning on changing b...

I expect the hydrometer will tell you why there is such a big voltage drop running high amp appliances. Since you wiring is good, that leaves the batts.
I was able to do the battery Hydrometer test today. I was only able to check three of the 12 volt deep cycle batteries with the Hydrometer. The battery that came with the trailer was a sealed lead acid. I was able to test it for voltage and it was fine. I added the 3 extra 12 volt deep cycle batteries two weeks after purchasing the trailer. The batteries have the same rated Ah's
The voltage on the meter at the time of the test was 12.80. The three deep cycle batteries I was able to test. Two, were in the green at 1275. The remaining battery was in the green at 1275 except for two cells which were in the white (fair) at 1250.
On a side note.
I do have a disconnect switch wired into the Inverter between the Inverter and the ANL fuse. Could the switch be a limiting factor? I could bypass it and go straight to the ANL fuse from the Inverter?
