Best battery

I need a new battery for the fiver, I only camp with full hookups. I still would like the best longest lasting battery possible. My last Wally world battery only lasted 15 months. Suggestions please. Thanks, Will
  • You only need a battery in the 5er when on the road.* Rule about the emergency breakaway. Get any cheap 12v battery. The Econo Power ones at Interstate dealers are refurbished and half -price.

    * Except if you have an inverter/charger.

    Your battery lasting time is likely from how you "maintain" it when not camping with FHU. Suggest read up on how to maintain a battery. EG read the Trojan guide on their website.
  • When I checked the reviews of the battery I have many said they only lasted 12-14 months. I believe the battrry is the problem but will check the charging system.
  • I'd look into why your battery died so quick. Even the cheapest **** lead battery should last longer than that if you're strictly a full hookups kind of camper.
