Okay ... I'm gonna stick my batteries back on the charger and let it do it's thing.
I need to get one of these Hydrometers but we are leaving Wednesday and I won't get one in the mail before then so I have to just go with what I see.
I did order the cigarette lighter plug in voltage meter that arrived form amazon today so that will help.
The 25' jumper cables and bag arrived today as well so between having that and my father in laws honda 2000 I think I will good to go when I need to recharge at some point in time between Wednesday night and Monday morning.
Just got everything done and loaded this weekend, all the light have been 100% (inside and out) with LED's and everything seems to be running good (got the fridge serviced as well today).
Gonna fill up the tanks Tuesday and then throw on the batteries and see how they do.
Another question .... My fridge takes a while to get cold, you think it's recommended in my case to plug into my shore power at home and let the fridge run over night before we leave to get the box fully cold then switch over to LP after I'm ready to leave???
I assume you can still drive at full speeds with the fridge LP and hot water heater lit correct?
I think I'm on the right track so far .. gonna order that hydrometer so I can learn that and have it for next time.
Good stuff here guys ... I love all the help and GREATLY appreciate all the feedback and comments. :)
