Batteries in new Forest River Heritage Glen
Hi All- We'll be caravaning cross country in February with friends who have a new Forest River Heritage Glen with a residential fridge. We like to stay at Cracker Barrels en route, but I'm not sure ...

I'm sure the dealer put a couple of "deep cycle" 12 volts in there. They are usually good for the 1st year or two. If you plan to dry camp, I suggest you budget for a couple 6 volt golf cart batteries from Costco or Sam's Club. You can spend more for AGMs and they will last longer/hold more charge but the golf carts are the sweet spot as far as bang for the buck. They will get you through a night of no hookups and last about 7 years doing that. Most people don't keep a particular RV long enough before upgrading to get the value out of AGMs (or LiIon).
