Battery Question

[trekkersmith1]

Jerry,
Could be as simple as loose battery cables. In your routine (at least monthly)
battery maintenance of checking the water levels in the batteries, check the
battery cables for looseness and corrosion. Also check the other ends of the
battery cables, in particular, the ground cable, as a poor ground connection
could be the cause. If suspicious, remove the connection, clean any dirt/grime.
Wirebrush both the cable end and the frame surface it attaches to, and
re-install, using a inward facing star washer between the cable and the frame.

an RV park and it wouldn't turn over at all. So, I had to start the generator
to get enough power to turn it over. And, as long as we remain hooked to AC we
have no trouble turning over.
