If you are storing it in the winter, depending on where you live, solar may not be very reliable. I would imagine Boston hasn't seen enough sun to charge much of anything.
Rodger-of course you are correct-i still intend to start up and RUN every 2 weeks.
I found some obd2 port solar panels. I will use it also.
since i found that promaster 21 day blurb in the manual i am more confident once every 2 weeks will be sufficient
thanks
Just keep in mind the colder the weather the faster the battery will discharge.
I also know Rt claims their solar panels will charge with no sun, what they don't say is how much. Probably not an issue in you situation.
Before I forget congratulations on the Zion.
thanks Rodger-also Roadtrek seems to have stopped that claim. at least it's not listed like that on all models.I don't think in new england that solar panels are a panacea-however not having to bother with a solar trickle charger seems aok.
i'd rather use the OBD2 port with the new verizonvehicle service.
it's sort of like Onstar from verizon and will work with any vehicle that has an OBD2 port. since all vehicles since 1996 have one i think i'm safe
