Stop/Start issues continue

I replaced the auxiliary battery within the last 3 months because it had failed, the alternator seems to be putting out like it usually does between 13 and 14 volts
 
I replace both batteries last year, and the auxiliary battery for the second time July of this year. I'm really hoping it's not draining the primary battery because I don't want to get stranded on my way to Utah.
The auxiliary battery drains the primary one to the point where it will not take a charge and I really hope that's not what's happening.
I'm giving serious consideration to disconnecting the battery when I get to my next stop so it does not leave me stranded

I know you've probably done this, but check all your connections at both batteries.
It doesn't take much play to mess everything up.

That's on the to-do list as soon as I get to my destination

Well at least we have a message change and if it's an indicator the same as it has been in the past, I have a few days before the primary battery dies

Haven't posted about it but my daughters JL (Badger) has been in the shop for 2-1/2 months with an unsolvable electrical issue. Donated to the dealership retirement fund twice - $1400 once & $800 and was assured it as fixed. Went to pick it up the second time and it had the exact same issue. I picked it up with my trailer out of their lot and took it t the shop that built Gruff. He's stumped & consulting electrical gurus to no avail.

Was getting the start/stop message - I thought it was the batteries and changed both - didn't do anything. Next issue was the Christmas light effect. Last time I attempted to drive it the fucking power steering went totally out & I almost drove off the road going around a sharp corner. Anyone else had that happen? It's 100% worse than a manual steering vehicle - it's like trying to turn the steering wheel with the engine off. And then we finished the act by not even allowing me even shift it out of park. So it's sitting. I'd consider telling her to dump it but it's stuck.

Did you get your money back?
 
Yeah but it’s really hard to get pushed thru. We went through it with a van back in 2001 unsuccessfully
