We have driven in Wyoming and Montana extensively over the years. Our best suggestion would be to drive from Gillette to Billings, then on to Livingston and then south to Yellowstone Park. You will always encounter hills in that part of the country but this route would minimize them. Good luck and enjoy Yellowstone.

I really hate it when everyone else is right and I am wrong. When I first touched the bolt on the positive side I noticed it was loose. I decided to remove the cable and, lo and behold, there was corrosion!... Once it was cleaned and re-installed, both sets of terminals read the same voltage. Thanks for your responses..

Arriving home after driving our 2001 Winnebago Brave, the unit would not restart using the coach battery. I checked the voltage on both the side terminals to which the battery cables were connected and the top terminals to which nothing is connected. The side terminals read less than 8 volts but the top ones read about 13.8! It appears that the side and top terminals are connected differently internally. Since the battery's top terminals are reading a good voltage, would it be a good idea to bypass the side terminals and connect the battery cables directly to the top terminals? Or, should I just replace the battery. Thanks for any advise.
