How do I hook up my 12 volt to my battery? And got any ideas on my fridge..? Angie 8-8-09  
I've got a 73 dodge sportsman motor home, and my aux battery cable ends have been removed, and my trickle charge, and my generator wires are simply hanging loose. I'm wonding if anyone knows how to hook them up so that I don't blow anything, and it'll maintain the batteries properly. Also, the fridge in it is a bit confusing. It's a 3 way with auto power selection b/t 110, 12, and propane. It is only plugged in to 110 as of right now, due to the fact that my aux battery and trickle aren't connected. I'm wondering if it needs 2 out of 3 power sources to auto select or what are the odds that it's busted. When I bought it I was told the fridge worked, but the 12 volt and propane were both disconnected and I haven't beeen able to get it cut on since. I ave very limited experience with RV's and this is my first motor home, so any help would be greately appreciated! Thanks so much!

Welcome Angie,to the rv world,yes the reefer needs 12 volts to operate on auto,
battery Ground wire from the frame goes to the Negative terminal on the battery,
get the RV Maintenance & Repair manual (about $20.oo --see right top of this page References,some rv dealers have them -or camping world,best book for any one trying to figure things out,
from here it takes to much to explain it all,
