Voltage drop on the highway...

Without more info, it looks like the alternator is bad.
Do you have a means to test it.....or the battery?
I would start there.

Yeah, check the silly stuff first before you dive into the wiring. Belt slipping at higher RPM? Alt good? Voltage reg good?

If it IS a wiring problem, my guess would either be ground or field.
