Voltage reads low and starter won't crank but batteries are new

[eric.zitelli@gmail.com]

My 2005 260 Sundancer voltage read 10.0 and the starter wouldn't crank even after charging (from shore power) for several hours. So I installed two new batteries, still got low voltage reading and wouldn't crank. Pulled the batteries and connected to a "smart technology" charger which said both were good and had 12+ volts of charge. Any suggestions on where to look next?

Use a voltmeter to check the the voltage at the main battery post on the starter. If you do not have 12+ volts, then one of your battery cables or connections may be bad.
