2005 Fleetwood 39S Electrical issue

Hello All, long time follower but first time poster.

I have a 2005 Fleetwood Providence 39S for the past 2 years and things have gone well. One issue that I have had show up a few times boondocking is losing all 12 volt power. Everything seems to shut down including the ability to start the generator. I have gotten around it by starting the coach and that seems to give me the ability to do what I need to do and after that half hour or so, the issue seems to fix itself and life carries on until the next time. Being that effects everything in the coach I am thinking that the coach batteries are having a bad connection or I have a module issue between the batteries the power being distributed to the coach. The batteries have always had a good connection so I am leaning to a bad module/controller.

It is January in Alberta but looking for some answers so when the time comes I will be ready to put them into action.

Check the negetive cables chassis ground connection. Don't know of a module that would cause your issue, just loose connections.

How old are the batteries ?

Have you had them properly charged and load tested ?

Thank you twinboat, that is a good place to start. It sometimes is the easiest things that get over looked. They work fine so they must be tight but that is where attention to that detail gets overlooked.

Skip426 they are 2 years old and are regularly charged but have never load tested them. Will have to get that checked this spring when I get the cover off.
