Time for new batteries for my AF811
The last 2 years or so, the original batteries in my 2010 AF811 have pretty much been useless. I haven't used the camper much during the summer of 2013 and 2014, and most of the time I had shore powe...

Personally, I don't expect an RV battery to last a "lifetime". When out dry camping they rarely get properly cycled (most cases over discharged), the 30-45A charge current of most converters will cause venting (need to check water levels often) and rarely (if ever) is there any on-battery temperature compensation for the charge voltage/current.
The result? Expect 3-5yrs (tops if you use your camper regularly). I'd rather toss in some cheapo Costco GP27's at ~70$ then some name brands that won't last any longer and just cost more.
In my state we have to Register+pay for Truck Camper tags - just another needless expense in owning a TC.
