Batteries overcharging
I do not plug in my MH when it's parked. I plug it in the night before we leave to chill the fridge. Most trips are just weekenders. I keep checking the batteries and they are overcharging/boiling ...

to Scott,, alias FIRE UP:
thanks for the info. I am reading these posts w/ great care to try and drill this stuff into my head to remember for when we get our rv.,, when we get it. At this point in time it could be next month or it could be a yr from now,, or several yrs. We are taking care of my 90 yr old mother and can't really get going until she is either in the rest home or 6'under,, pardon the graphics,, but I am just being truthful. I have been with her and aching to get on the road for going on 6 yrs now so im using this time to educate myself as much as I can about all the ins and outs of caring for our rig. I keep telling my husband of just about a yr and a half that he needs to do the same but as yet he just reads about guns and ammo and politics and seems to think we have all the time in the world,, or else he's really good at 'cramming' at the last minute. I love the man but I just don't operate that way... ha! I have owned a couple of rvs in the past but always had a man to do the worrying for me as my first hubby was a superb mechanic who could fix anything (we had carbuerator trouble in Monument Valley of all places and so he took it apart and found a bit of paper in the line where the needle or some such thingy was) I could envision us having to get a tow truck out in the middle of the Navajo Res. to come rescue us...but anyway.... We are kinds on our own now and by the grace of God we will trudge on. On my (our) first rv,, was a 1978 19.5' open road w/ a chevy engine,, 350 i think,, there was no such thing as house batteries, or coach batteries,, just one on the engine and also we had a generator on that cute little rig. Many times i have wished for that rig back. It was perfect for short trips...or long ones,, just not full timing, which is what we hope to do. again thanks for any advice or info or just a heads up to anyone who posts here,, i love reading them!
