Hi all. Questions about Cruise America Thor Majestic 23A coach battery.
1) What manufactures, size and type battery did your 23A come with? Mine came with a a Lifetime AMG Deep Cycle Group 31.
2) Was your battery just on the battery tray or did it come with a strap and/or any protection from road debris/elements?
3) Have you replaced your battery and if so, what did you decide to go with? Did you stay with an AMG or go the traditional flooded deep cycle?
1 & 2
My 23A came with a new (what the salesman said) group 31 AGM which just sat on the battery tray-no tiedowns.

I've thought about replacing it, as I have no idea how many recharge cycles it's gone through and it seems to loose it's charge, especially when it sits for a few weeks. I've put it on a battery charger if it sits longer than this time period. If I were to replace it, I'd go with another AGM, and add a second battery and a solar panel. You shouldn't mix a flooded and AGM batteries, and I like the idea of no maintenance of the AGM. The Lithium's are just too expensive for the way I use my coach.
