Hi to all.  I have a 2001 Leighton TT that is 30 ft.  I have tryed to
run a 500 watt power converter for the T.V. and Sat. dish.  The
converter is difficult to get on line and sez insufficient battery
voltage and kicks off.  This is with fully charged batteries.  i am
running 2 T125 deep cycle 6 volt batteries wired in series, so I should
have more than enough capacity.

During the night w/out the power converter, I notice that when the
water pump cycles on, or the heater blower kicks on, the lights dim
down.  I think that the culprit is voltage drop due to the small wires
that the Skyline mfg installs from the battery back to the fuse panel.
The wires appear to be about 12 - 14 awg at the largest.  What I am
thinking about doing is running 8 or 10 gage wire from the battery to
the fuse panel.  That should drop the volt drop way down.  I was
wondering if any body else out there has a similar problem w/ their
skyline tt.  If so, have they ever tryed to rewire the trailer as I am
considering.  If so, how big a job was it.  How did you feed the wires
through the walls, and what gage wire did you rewire with.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
