Battery Tenders
I have two new RV Batteries and want to keep them completely charged. Stupid question I know, but here goes. What size battery tender do I need to get and can I just hook it to one of the batteries in...

Tell us the brand and model number of the converter in your Grand Design and we will tell you what it does.
I don't know right off what brand the converter is. I will look through the paperwork this evening. Here's what started the whole idea that I need a battery maintainer/tender.
We brought the new TH home last weekend. supposedly equipped with two new RV batteries. When I parked it in our yard and disconnected it from the tk it was late and we went to bed. The next am I went out to find the CO alarm was going off and would not reset. After looking up the flashing/beeping code it said the alarm was due to LOW Voltage. I hooked up shore power and the alarm silenced itself. The TH has been attached to shore power since. The TH does have a battery disconnect switch, but it was in the ON position.
Why would two brand new RV batteries not have enough voltage to run a CO detector? All of our other fifth wheel and trailers have had converters that was suppose to keep the batteries at full charge, but I have found over the years that that's not always the case. So I want to take better care from the start with these two new batteries.
