HI again Doug,
I am still strongly considering getting the coach/house battery replaced. It is under the back bumper and it is a Lifeline GPL-8DL. Looks like the battery itself will be around $800 plus the cost of someone changing it out for me.
Before I go that route though, my RV tech guy suggested that my battery might be draining faster than expected because I am leaving the inverter on and that is draining my battery quickly. He said that I only need to turn the inverter on when I use my microwave, induction cooktop, and possibly my TV (he couldn't remember if it is 110 or 12V). Is that correct? Could that be my issue.
He warned that because I have drained my battery so many times because I leave the inverter on (which is what the RV center I bought the vehicle from told me to do), it may be time for a new battery anyway.
Thanks again for your thoughts!

Just went back thru the previous threads. If you have NOT replaced the Coach Lifeline batteries, GET THEM REPLACED. No if ands or buts. Once Lifelines go dead, they are BAD. PERIOD. From your previous posts, the batteries HAVE at times been dead. Lifelines are NOT cheap, BUT they are the BEST batteries for your application and will last years if not allowed to go dead. If you go to another brand AGM battery, you will have to reprogram your Inverter/Charger to correctly charge other brand AGM batteries. Your Inverter/Charger was programmed by Midwest to correctly charge Lifeline brand batteries. Doug
