David & Mark,

After the panel checked out and I got proper voltage and current at the
fridge relay, I checked at the alt and now got zero... hmm. That's different
than before - I know I had voltage last time I checked. Pulled apart the
wiring and found a cracked solder junction where I'd spliced into the oem
harness. Cut back some hardened wire and spliced in some new stuff, heat
shrinked, and it's all good now.

Wish I'd checked this before pulling things apart! Thanks for all the help.
Now maybe we can finally go camping... :-)
