Charging from truck charging system

Have a 2014 W&P and for the most part have had very few issues until this week.

1. When going down road the battery will not stay charged by truck Alt.
270 amp. Alt can handle this.

The refer will not stay running any longer on battery so have to use LP and at times won't have enough juice to keep igniter working.

Battery is a good.
Any thoughts?

2. LED strip light ov r slid out does not work at all. I thought when one LED went out the others would still work.

All fuses are good and this Jan's nothing to do with issue mentioned above.

    First thought, try a voltage check on the battery, with truck disconnected and shore power off, then connect truck and check again to ensure you are getting a good connection to the truck. Voltage should come up from 12.5 or so disconnected to 13.8-14.2 with truck connected and running.

    Slide problem is a possible nicked wire. whenever you are dealing with powered moving parts the possibility exist.
