Most RV's have one 12 volt battery. If my one 12 volt battery and got damaged I'd be in the same boat.
Yeah I'm nit picking a bit, but come on, how often do we really get stranded by a failed battery?
Yes Bobbo had a failed terminal on one 12 volt battery. But if it was a 6 volt failed terminal and it was really important at the time I bet it would have been McGyvered until it could be repaired correctly.
OP here. That is EXACTLY my point. I didn't have to "McGyver" it while on the road. It waited until it was parked at home. Thank you for making my point for me.
You miss the point, you were negligent in maintaining your batteries and cables. Every thing else about failure is moot. The onus is on you for failing to maintain and check your batteries and terminals. Had you done so, none of this would even matter. No excuse for neglect. Had you taken care of it, you'd have nothing to post about.
