Thank you! I always learn something by watching your videos. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looking forward to more of this type of video from you. Stuff breaks in these RV's and it is very helpful to know where to look and begin troubleshooting the problem.

Working on two more videos now.

18” you say? Hmmm. On my 2010 Rockwood TT, I re-worked the battery connection last year (to enable a solar hookup), and without measuring would say there was a good 5 ft of factory-installed 8 AWG wire between the battery positive and the breaker. After my changes it’s no shorter, but I did add a fuse at the positive battery terminal.

The RVIA (RV Industry Assiciation) has adopted NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standard 1192. This is a non-government standard that establishes minimum construction practices for RVs. NFPA1192 also incorporates the ANSI LV (Low Voltage) standard as well as a portion of NFPA 70 (National Electric Code). That is where the 18" requirement comes from. While again, it is not mandatory, most mfgs claim to build RVs to NFPA1192, and in fact have a pretty little RVIA sticker on their RVs that says so. And the original owner paid a few hundred dollars for that sticker. So incompetence, or for whatever reason, I would be surprised if many RVs would actually pass an audit of NFPA1192.

Thanks. Something I hope to remember. And hope I don’t need to use.

I have a similar problem, but mine is intermittent. Just replaced the battery. My issue is that the battery power works only 50% of the time. 120V power always works. Its as if the front key switch was turned off, even when its not. Im assuming its either the key switch itself, or a loose wire on the main power cable. Ill try my luck with the multimeter. Im pretty handy with mechanical stuff, just not alot of experience with electrical. Here we go!
