The point I'm making is that even though the battery voltage "measures" 12.4 VDC before leveling and voltage "measures" 12.1 VDC after the event ends, that doesn't eliminate the "potential for a drop in voltage DURING the operation.
If that is occurring, there's a good chance that a "weak cell in a battery" or "corrosion on a wire connection" or "high resistance ground from corrosion" could be the problem and it would likely not be identified with "before/after measurements"...

All good points! I’m going to go to the coach tomorrow and check at the battery with my meter. They usually hang around 12.8-13.1 when they are on the tender. If the system dropped to much would that cause it to shut down like it did? It acted like a safety shut off when it happened and after a few seconds it rebooted. Very odd. I had JUST camped and hooked up to shore power the weekend prior and it leveled first try perfectly.
Stinking RVs....
