Uh, wait a minute, have you been towing that rig with a known dead battery? If so, that is not safe AND it is highly illegal. Into the bargain, should there be an accident involving a breakaway, you will find your insurance will refuse to pay, leaving you hanging out to dry. That battery is necessary to power the trailer brakes in case it separates from your TV.
Thanks guys. Wellll, last year was the first time the fridge gave us trouble so I would say..umm..lucky as far as the battery goes. But I'm doing my research now for a new battery before this years vacation, which will be from NC to Disney for 7days at Fort Wilderness. By the way, we have never dry camped or boondocked so what would be a good battery choice? I was thinking a standard-ish deep cycle/marine battery..any suggestions?/..and Thanks..Phil
