Hi, I finally purchased a 2015 Thor Majestic 28a from Cruise America last weekend. Only 99,000 miles!! I am wondering if anyone with this model of RV has increased there battery bank to two 6 volt or two 12 volt batteries. I don't believe the battery compartment in its current state is large enough to fit two batteries unless the metal slide out tray is modified. Is this even possible to make the battery tray larger? I really want to be able to boondock and am unsure of how to solve this problem or where else the batteries could be moved. Ideally I would like to get two 6 volt AGM. Anyone know what type of business could modify the battery tray to fit two batteries?
Hi with our 27G one battery and 200W solar and a 110v inverter we boondocked for 4 years no problem. During the day we used as much power as we wanted when the solar was going and then went down to minimum at night. laptop on battery for videos. The $100 standard battery from Walmart worked well and after 2 years we replaced it as we felt it was notr holding so great. This was a huge saving compared to going for 2 x 6V AGM or lithium and for us this was the way to go.
If you have day after day of rain and no sun then that is when the problem will start - 7 days of rain in Orgeon in a forested area was tricky :(
