Asking others how long there battery lasts, only tells you one thing. How long theirs lasts.
It has nothing to do with how long yours will last.
There are too many variables in how each of us uses a battery for such a survey to have any meaning.
There's nothing wrong with asking others for an opinion. :R. The OP has a 5 yr old rig with what is probably the original battery and is likely just wondering if it's time he should be thinking about replacing it even though it's been serving the purpose to date just fine. He's already told us he normally camps on electric sites, in which case anything different than what he already has, probably a garden variety G24 or G27 lead acid RV/marine battery, is entirely unnecessary. I'm in the same boat as well, simply continue to run my single G27 Interstate and will until it will no longer hold a charge, no matter how many more years that might take ... I'm only planning to upgrade to a pair of G31s because I want to be able to better utilize the capabilities of my 1000 watt inverter those times we lose campground power, otherwise I'd just stick with the G27 alone until it quits - no biggie.
You are making some assumptions about the OP that may not be correct. His battery may or may not be original.. He may not even be the original owner.
And you are reading something into my post that was not it's intent.. I was not reccomending any type of battery. Just illustrating that his specific question really has no answer to HIS situation.
Others testimony has no bearing on what his battery life will be... And it has more than being plugged in the majority of the time to do with it. His use will be different than your use or my use. His tempertures will be different. His charging will be different. His loads will be different. Therefore his battery life will be as well.
These threads always get a ton of responses.. But they are meaningless.
