Batteries One or Two
We have a used 05 Montana Mountaineer 5th wheel and it came with 2 12 volt batteries. They need replacing and since we never boondock I wondered if we really need 2 or would 1 work?
Thanks

- Thanks for all the input guys. Talked it over with DW and decided to go with two batteries again.
Again Thanks

ONE and make it small like group 24 from Costco.- Two is always better than one, but based on your anticipated needs, one would work.
- Potentially one starting or hybrid battery. Lots of amps and very few amp hours. Do you have a healthy starting battery in a vehicle you could swap over and replace with a new battery?
Jim - ONE and make it small like group 24 from Costco.
- Your slides will definitely work better with two batteries
- I agree with Kevin, very cheap insurance for what if.........
Bill - I rarely boon dock anymore but I have suffered through snow storms, landslides/road closure, lighting storms etc which forced me to rely on batteries. In my case an extra type 24 battery cost me about $60 - cheap insurance.
