BFL, I think that is the problem. Here are the results of my tests:
No connections battery volts=12.45, all wires connected=12.38, with shore power=13.20 at battery and at converter= 13.57, here is where it goes wrong I think. Truck battery not running=12.75, when running truck battery volts= 14.87. When I plug camper to truck with truck running the volts = 12.37 and over 5 minutes of running the volts dropped to 12.25. Volts should be rising. Any ideas on what is causing volts to drop when plugged to truck for charging.
