Howdy and thanks in advance for all help.

Not plugged in to shore power.
No power in camper.
12.7 @ battery
The black lead goes to a (splitter?) and then up to a block
with three studs. Center is feed and has voltage, outside
studs that go to hydraulic motor and camper have no voltage.
Ground feeds into a center stud in front of block and has(continuity?) at spade terminals at outside.
This block is riveted closed. What is it? Is this my problem?
You say the black lead goes into a splitter (note: on the Montanas they do use the black as the hot 12vdc and white as the ground). The black to the block with three studs (sounds to me like your up or down/in or out for your hydraulics) and not your problem.
Where do the other leads off the splitter go. I agree with others I think you have a bad "resetable" breaker that feed your 12vdc switch in the convenience center. The resetable breaker should have red rubber covers and it should have a metal silver/aluminum body with two studs out and the 12vdc wire. One side should read your 12.7 and so should the other if it does not then that breaker (auto rest) is bad. Normally these are mounted on the back wall on the right hand side.
Sorry that is the best I can do.
