Thanks for that. That’s actually why i was considering 4 6v but then adding cost again. Interesting to hear that it actually happened to you and not just here say

I don't even remember what happened the second time, but it was a similar failure.
That was in our old trailer when our kids were young and rough on our systems. The kids are all grown and gone now. We haven't had any issues in our "new" (five year old) fiver.
