Low volts and amps; was alternator
Tom

You don't increase the voltage, you sense remotely as BB designed it,
and then the voltage at the load remains where it should be regardless
of the voltage drop in the wiring. Simple solution to a simple problem,
and it works. BlueBird did this in late 1982 for the '83 MY and it
helps to maintain a proper voltage at the load center if left intact.

The MY '82 and before wiring needs a remote sense even more, or to be
re-wired. Your entire load center is powered by a single 6AWG wire. If
you've had an inverter added, and the voltage drop over the cables to
the inverter is a problem, kind of hard to blame BlueBird for your
voltage drop.

Mike Hohnstein's '83 FC has a kick-butt inverter/battery setup which
works exceptionally well, and uses almost all of the original
battery/charger cables (except two, we had two of the originals left
over). Not a piece of 4/0 anywhere and the microwave works great. You
might look at having your inverter system properly installed if the
original installer did a poor job.
