Question re: Battery Level

Have a 2012 Jayco Swift 18' ... has the little monitor on the wall that, when a button is pushed, shows 1-4 LED lights for empty/full .. Battery; Water; gray and black tank. Is there something else I can use to make a better determination of the current Battery charge? I found that 4 lights doesn't really mean "totally charged". Trailer is totally stock w/no mods - yet. Plan on getting 2 6volt batteries this Spring, and Generator. Generator

    I believe that you will find out that when you are hooked up to shore power, that monitor panel will show the battery being fully charged even though the battery might actually be completely DEAD. Your best bet would be to use a mult-meter and check battery voltage at the battery posts.
