Is there any good reason for this???
It was really bothering me that in me new fifth wheel I could not figure out how my house batteries got their power to the distribution center. I see 8 gauge wire going into my power distribution panel however I don’t see a corresponding 8 gauge wire going from my front compartment back that direction. There are two circuit breakers on the wall in my battery area I traced most of them. The only 8 gauge wire that loooked right went up into the front cap. Low and behold after opening a junction box up behind the pin box I find the wire (8gauge) goes from the battery to a cut off switch to a auto resetting breaker, all the way up to the pin box through another breaker, jointed with the biggest wire nut I’ve ever seen to the 12 volt wire from the vehicle plug and another 8 gauge wire which ultimately makes its way back down through the battery area down the frame and into the power distribution center. Is there any good reason why they would do this? I notice my converter never goes into float mode and I wonder if this extra 10 feet of cabling could be contributing to it not sensing right. Any thoughts?
