Humm, I'm not familiar with the rotten egg smell related to batteries.
We just had our 2008 FW Hurricane out at a full hook up rv park for 6 nights. Our RV is stored with out power. As soon as we parked I noticed the egg smell. I thought it was a dirty rv site or something. We were plugged into shore power the 6 nights. We finished camping. I went to retract the three slides and levelers (individually) and clearly we were out or about out of battery juice. I could start and run the gen. That appeared to help get everything tucked back in. The gen. shut off many times while retracting slides. Never had this happen before. Wasn't really sure what to do. Either way we got it handled.
Now I know to check the house batteries. I'm sure they are the originals.
On a related note. I'd like to put a little 2 watt solar charger on the dash plugged into the cig lighter. I think that when I turn the coach and house battery master switches off at the door the cig lighter plug won't take the charge. Am I correct?
