Battery Voltage

I checked voltage and fluids on my battery today. The coach is parked for 4 weeks now with the battery switched off.

With the power switched back on I used the volt meter inside the coach and it read 11.43V and the voltage was jumping around. I used my Fluke Meter to check voltage directly on the battery terminals and got stable 12.6V

Why would the meter inside the coach be of by so much?

I got 2 Trojan T105 which are only 4 month old!!!!

Sounds like a loose connection, maybe corrosion on battery terminals or elsewhere in the stream of connections to the point you are reading inside the coach.

gonzo....I'm going to throw this out there just in case. On my coach, the voltage meter on the control panel reads both coach and house batteries. You have to toggle between the two.
