crimping battery lug
Ok, this is on my boat but very well could be an RV question so I hope it is appropriate. While replacing a pump I noticed one of the positive battery cables going into the battery selector switch...

I have been building battery cables for decades using solder. You only need a handheld propane torch to accomplish the task. Auto parts stores even sell lugs that contain the solder or have a solder puck. Lots of videos on this.
On more than 1 occasion I have found ends soldered to cable, and the end comes off. I think a bad connection at the post heats the terminal, loose some solder.Clean the post, but now some resistance at the solder joint.
This is on truck starting batteries, my never be issue for low amp loads.
