I had a problem with the main ground on the trailer last year. Lights would dim more than they should have when a large load(slide) was applied. I checked everything else out, and verified I seemed to have the right voltage everywhere.

However, when I was checking the voltage the meter, I was using a spot other than the main ground as a ground. When doing that, voltage read fine on the meter, but things were still not right... That's when I decided to unscrew the main ground from the trailer, and I found a lot of corrosion at that connection. That was the wire from the battery to the frame. I cleaned everything up really well, and my problem was solved.

You have gotten lots of good info here. I won't try to rehash it all. Good luck!
