The Golf Cart batteries sounds like a winner. DH has a connection at a battery store....these, I believe, are the same ones used in power wheelchairs. They are replaced yearly and he gets ones in perfectly good condition for his RC use, so that would be a good back up.
We intended to convert to LED in our ROO and never did, but bought a supply to have on hand the same as OEM. Our luck, we still have about 80% of the box left, so they'll do for some time. We truly never, never, never dry camp and if it were not such a unique situation this time, you'd find us up on the bluff in the RV section rather than the primitive. We've already made the stop at Dollar Tree for some decorations for Rocky - battery operated - and I know we can make it festive.
The key here is that September shot the H*** out of the budget, plus we're in the midst of installing new flooring, so Lowe's is our BFF. Right now, if it costs much above nothing it isn't going to happen. We can do this and have a fun time + help the new Ranger get some fresh things happening. The primitive campground is in a gorgeous cove off the TN river with woods all the way around. It's really awesome. But scout troops aren't known for their great RVs, so we'll be one of very few, but still have a good time. After the sad news last trip, we all need something to feel good about and maybe start a new tradition.....and maybe they'll add it to the RV campground if it's successful.
