Markopolo, I updated my Volt meter to LED fro LCD so I could see it in the dark, I installed the LCD volt meter in my new Roadtrek only because I had it because ,I don't really RV overnight in the Roadtrek but I had it so I used it.

Everything I have read indicates that to be a much better choice over 2-12V batteries. I posted the pictures Dario's pictures as I think that is a neat way of monitoring both the chassis and coach batteries. In another topic, someone mentioned that the Trail-Lite charges both directions - like a combiner. By that, I mean shore power would also charge the chassis battery and the chassis alternator would charge the coach battery. I'll have to check out the batteries with my volt meter.
Just a quick follow-up on my change over to 6v golf cart batteries....Next time out I'm going to correlate the LED reading with my volt meter, and if the LEDs don't give me the information I need I will wire in a separate little digital volt meter.

I will send you a picture of a Volt meter that Installed to monitor both the chassis and coach battery with a toggle switch.

Gary Swanson wrote:Good to have you contribute. Does the long story start with putting in two batteries turned 90 degrees? I'd been thinking of doing that as I am always fearful that 1 battery will not last through the night with the furnace on. Rebuilding the tray - larger and lower seems like the correct way to go.
...Anyone with a Trail-Lite suffering from inaccessable batteries MUST end their pain by getting the Qwik-Fill system from Flow-Rite. It is great. I am switching to 6v golf cart batteries (2) for my 211S and have bought Flow-Rite's new Pro-Fill RV system that is designed for 6v batteries...(How, you are asking, can I fit those tall 6v golf cart batteries in that cramped battery tray space? That is another long story, but the short answer is the OEM tray broke off a couple of years ago and I had a larger, somewhat lower sitting tray fabricated and welded/bolted in place. The golf cart batteries plus the Pro-Fill RV system will fit in with < 1" to spare.)

II have a small clear hose and funnel setup for adding water, which also entails a flashlight and mirror. No matter what, T/L definitely dropped the ball on this one.
