Roadtrek CS owner
I have a question for RoadTrek CS owner, the new refrigerator (7CF) is listed as 12v and 110V. The CS model has propane but it looks like the Ref is power from the batteries and invertor when driving...

Let me see if I understand, your adding 524 lbs of battery behind the rear axel, and are going to add a Stowaway carrier, and your dealer told you this was a good way to go. If he told you that, I would then read my extended warranty very carefully. He's already given you misinformation about cycling the batteries.
It's your van I will butt out.
I guess I should clarify what the dealer said. He said that these batteries have been tested to handle complete draws with far less if any damage to the batteries compared to the completing battery makers. This was a requirement for this battery manufacturer to land a military contract for the battery to be installed in tanks. However, I am overbuilding this so that I can boondock for 5 days running the fridge and tv (sparingly) without needing shore power and only have 50% drain on the batteries.
