RE: [doc] interesting engine cutting out problem

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, Backy sometimes mysteriously cuts out, I found one of the heavy
wires to the alternator had a poor contact and it suddenly stopped
charging...then stated again when it felt like it. All do no doubt due to
under use ( still only 650 miles from new).

James, all of these problems can be caused by a loose wire on the
battery and/or a loose connector on the alternator
