Batteries
What do you do with the batteries in your 5er during winter? I live in Central OR and it can get pretty darn cold here at times. Do you leave them in the 5er and keep electricity to the converter or...
When I had to store the 5th wheel off site I removed the batteries and stored them in the garage. That was a hassle so the last 2 winters I left them in the trailer after they were fully charged. I checked them every month and found that they were fine for the 4 months stored. So now that is my plan- leave them in even in our cold Colorado winters. Batteries are now 6 years old.
We have power where I store my FW. I just plug in BUT I also use a lamp timer so the charger is only active about 5 or 6 hours a day. Works for me.
