Questions that haven't been asked, how are you at regular maintenance? Are your batteries easy to get to so you can regularly check the water level?

We try to boondock most of the time, and with our 420 watts of solar and an inverter, we very very seldom use our Hondas any more. I have to remember to do the monthly check on them most of the time, due to lack of use.
Just one more thing sir, (hehehe) we also put a Honeywell programmable thermostat in our 5er. It is the same one we have at home, and we have it go to 60 at night and then warm up before we get out of bed. That also helps with battery usage.
