If I have two 6 volt batteries I have one 12 volt battery split into two halves. If one of the halves gets damaged my 12v battery stops functioning properly.
Most RV's have one 12 volt battery. If my one 12 volt battery and got damaged I'd be in the same boat.
Yeah I'm nit picking a bit, but come on, how often do we really get stranded by a failed battery?
Yes Bobbo had a failed terminal on one 12 volt battery. But if it was a 6 volt failed terminal and it was really important at the time I bet it would have been McGyvered until it could be repaired correctly.
OP here. That is EXACTLY my point. I didn't have to "McGyver" it while on the road. It waited until it was parked at home. Thank you for making my point for me.
