Should I replace my batteries?
My two 6V Interstate batteries have been doing very well. They were installed by the dealer before we took delivery of our new X19H in June of 2011. Never had any issues with them, but wondering now ...

I don't want to take the risk, but it will feel like replacing good batteries. :-(
Never though about that, but that's not a bad idea.
I need a new battery for my truck very soon anyway - was planning to replace it in fall (that one is 7.5 years old). I could get a 12V truck battery replacement from Costco, fully charge it, and take it on the trip to Canada. It would be a good backup for both the truck and trailer. I could store it in a double 6V battery box - the one I always wanted for my trailer tongue. After the trip, I can put the 12V battery in my truck and mount the double battery box on my trailer tongue.
Kind of like 3 birds with one stone. :)
For sure an idea that's in my head now, glad I came here and asked.
