Suspected Converter Problem
Hey guys, back again. Hoping to gain some insight into an ongoing problem we've had this summer. RV is a 2004 Fleetwood Terry Quantum AX6 365FLTS. The rv came with a factory installed WFCO 8855 ...

Okay guys, update.
Fiddled with it just now. The loose connection was the issue. I hooked up a battery and was reading almost identical voltages at the converter and battery terminals. Hooray.
Now for the bad news. Over the next ten minutes, voltage at the battery terminals slowly began dropping. By the time I walked away, it was down to 13.7v.
The voltage at the converter stayed constant at 14.4X the whole time. I felt the battery cables and they are heating up. I suspect excessive resistance due to undersized cables (8 AWG).
Do you concur with my suspicion? What size cable would you recommend? Again, I have ancor marine grade 4 AWG laying around.
