All my battereis ruptured!
I went to begin getting the motorhome ready for the season and the first thing I noticed was no power. I checked the batteries and ALL were ruptured. I live in the pacific northwest so we do have cold...

Thank you,
We had it plugged in and all electronics were off, a few days later, we smelt something in the air, it was a pin hole in one of the chassis batteries and putting a acid vapor in the air,so we just unplugged it for the winter. Thank you. You can bet this will not happen again.
Thanks for replying. It appears from your comment that the batteries did indeed go dead and then froze. Can you confirm this, did you leave the batteries connected to the RV rather than removing a cable.
Many people don't realize that batteries can freeze (never does in their car on those cold days). When they discharge the acid in them turns to water, thus they freeze and rupture.
