I guess I won't know for sure until I get out and use this camper some. Hopefully this weekend!Click For Full-Size Image.
Those are real good batteries. If you don't drain them lower than 50%, keep them properly charged, keep the correct amount of electrolite in them and equalize them occasionally they will last years. They are made by Eastern Penn Manufacturing in the USA, the largest manufacturer of flooded batteries in the USA
