    After while start drop down voltage at B and connector F. 14.45 to 11.85V. After 20min later B 8.85V F 8.45V. Engine temp is operating temp. Outside temp 4C.

    Also this RV using a Multi isolator. They have 4 pin.

    At alternator from B to A(isolator) 1(isolator) to main Batt and starter. 2(isolator) to second Batt.

    Do you know the type and model of the alternator? Is it a delco or denso or mitsu or some other brand.

    If that's built on a GMC chassis, it should have a Delco alternator. Delco alternators have built in voltage regulators so if your output voltage goes low like you've described, the most likely culprit is the alternator. You can remove it for off-board testing to verify the fault at many parts stores.
