Just a quick reminder if you RV Park camp it really doesn't matter what battery. If you dry camp then it will matter. I see so many people waste money on expensive batteries and all they do is use full hook-ups.
You would think that but... I recall being half asleep one night, Full hook up (50 amp) site and BANG.. NO POWER.. No the plug did not fail.
A driver missed the curve.. What he did not miss was that tall Pole alongside the road.. and BANG.. No power. NO internet NO landline phone NO cable tv.. NOTHING with wires attached..
Batteries did the deed till the power was restored.
In another campgrong.. Same BANG. Same NO POWER.. only this time it was a construction worker on a back hoe and an underground PRIMARY line.
And then the Hurricane came by
And the tornado (Depending on where) Need not threaten the CG (neither did) but close enough to take out power.
Every time my batteries held.
