Well we don't use the motorhome that much. We vend at festivals, so we boondock alot. Sometimes we get electrical hook ups, it's rare though. The battery compartment is under the unit. And I guess I would rather not mess with checking water and stuff.I think the smoke/propane alarm runs down the battery, cause it's always dead after a few weeks of sitting. We don't leave the rv plugged in, as thats how our old rv caught on fire.
Isn't there a maint free deep cycle?
Really need to install a disconnect switch so the battery does not discharge. AGM can sit fully charged for 8 to 12 months and still operate fine if it is disconnected. Left for dead the battery sulfates causing permanent capacity loss.
Next to check would be your charging system and I assume you are using a generator to give a daily recharge. Post the converter model numbers for best answers. If you park in the sun 100 to 300 watts solar would make a huge difference.
