Battery
I have owned my travel trailer for about 6 years now and (gasp) have never camped off the grid… until now. I have a trip planned that does not have access to electricity and my battery is shot. ...

My son has one boondock trip to Colorado this summer for 10 days. We installed two 6 volt batteries and led bulbs. His converter will only go to 13.6 so he is using my Megawatt power supply so he can do 14.8 volt charging with a Honda 2000. While we were at it we installed a blue seas battery switch so he could easily shut everything off while in storage. He trashed a couple batteries because it was a hassle to remove the battery cable all the time.
If you consider the power supply route I would buy a Meanwell not a Mega watt, get the 15 volt model with an operating range of about 13.4v or so to about 17v. This will let you have a charging source that will go to a high enough voltage to equalize at times. I consider led a must. He bought cheap ones on ebay for $20.00 for 10. He figured he would give them a try and has not had any problems. Research led as I have notice people complaining of over heating.
