battery in new camper

do most units come with a battery as standard equipment or does the dealer usually charge for it?

  • I bought both my campers from the same guy
    Even though it is one of the least expensive one on the lot
    He includes a good 27 series RV batt and propane
    The latest camper had an electric top and since I mostly boondock
    I asked for a good batt and he upgraded to a series 29RV at no cost
    and never charged a prep fee.
    he also gave me a $750 return customer discount and paid half the sales tax.
  • The units typically ship from the factory without batteries.

    The dealer provides and installs them- so most will include them in their "set-up fee", along with filling propane tanks, etc....

    Bottom line? You pay the dealer for battery(ies)
