Description of the problem	I own a 1998 newmar dutchstar on a freightliner chassis with a 3126 cat motor. The issues outlined below began when lowering the jacks. Then spread to low speed rpms at different periods of operation, causing a total electrical system shut down, (to include lights, power steering, power brakes, engine, a/c, radio, etc), thus causing a unsafe operating condition. Over time the issue began during different operational periods when different electrical draws were present (such as while using lights, defrost and wipers, engine fan coming on, etc.). This issue has also been observed when the engine temperature of 182 degrees or higher is reached. In all cases, after approx 90 to 120 seconds, the power will return and allow the engine to be restarted. This is a ongoing issue with no known causes, minus the listed examples or additional unknown causes. None of the 3 major manufacturer's of this rv will accept ownership of the problem and request the vehicle be tested for cause for a unknown period of time at current charge of 100+ dollars per hour. Due to this being of a major life safety issue, and it appears that all electrical wiring is tied into 1 common connection, thus in it's own right, would create just the unsafe condition as outlined above. I am requesting that the vehicle be repaired at no cost to me and that owners of this make, model be notified of this report this incident information was not reported prior to now due to not being aware of this reporting site.
