Ford F53 engine shutdown

A few days ago I replaced both the chassis and coach batteries on my 2011 Hurricane. Now, after a few seconds after starting the engine the engine shuts down. The speedometer bounces slightly until I turn the ignition off and restart. It will restart immediately. The first time this happened the start shutdown cycle happened 3 times. Now it has been happening once. I'm leaving for vacation very soon and am more than a little concerned. Any Ideas?
Thanks

Double check the positive and negative cable connections on the coach battery.

Rechecked the installation. It was done correctly.

Disconnect the chassis battery. Let it sit for 3 or 4 minutes then reconnect. Sounds like you got a bad reboot last time.

Also check the chassis ground. Perhaps as the cables where moved it came loose?
The reboot idea sounds more likely however. Darn electronics.

Best of luck,
Terry
