Low voltage at atwood rv heater, help please
I am getting a low voltage reading at my heater. I am testing it with my voltmeter at the blower motor. I get a 10.6 reading when plugged into shore power. Furthur testing at the rv power distribution...

Your converter should be supplying 13.2 volts while plugged into shore power.
I think if you solve that problem, then low voltage at the appliances should also be solved at the same time.
What is the exact voltage at your battery?
Do you have a portable battery charger that you can put on the battery to raise it's voltage a bit? Once the battery is full, many portable chargers can put out 15 volts, surely enough to run the water heater.
If nothing else, then try plugging in the RV to a truck, and let it's engine charge the battery for a while. Then all the appliances will run while on the vehicle engine charger.
Good luck,
Fred.
