CJW8 is correct. 50' one way, grounded through the chassis. Damon really didn't think things out very well when they put the converter at the very back of the coach, the disconnect at the very front of the coach and the battery roughly in the middle. Moving the converter is easy but moving the dedicated AC circuit not so much.
Some other measurements that might offer insight...
Converter: 14.4v
Distribution panel: 14.05v (~15' from converter)
Disconnect: ~13.29v (~40' from converter)
I'll go through the connections next. Since the battery is pulling a good charge from the alternator I know any issue has to be between the converter and the disconnect so that narrows things down a bit.
There could be 8+ connection points on the positive side between the converter and the battery (1 at converter, 2 at distribution panel, 2 at disconnect, 2 at fuse/breaker, 2 at isolator...).
Thinking about the ground... the ground from the converter to the chassis and from the battery to the chassis are the only two that should matter in this case right?
Thanks for the feedback!
