Our last camping trip for the year was about a month ago. We hooked up and headed out to the campground about 25 miles away. I noticed the truck was a little slower starting than normal but didn't think anything about it until later. I pulled into the campground store and went inside to check in. I came back out and hit the ignition, just a click. I opened the hood and checked my terminals, all tight. About the time I closed the hood a park ranger drove by...I waved her down and asked if she had some jumper cables. A park worker pulled up in front of my truck in about a minute to jump me off. No problem...it cranked right up. I quickly went to our site, unhooked and then headed to Advance to get another battery. It was the original battery that came with the truck, 2007. After installing the new battery I thought, if I had gone back and unhooked the electrical connection to the trailer I might have had enough to crank the truck. My truck's lights are automatic when the ignition switch is turned, also the trailer lights came on putting more of a drag on the battery. Just thought I would put this out for anyone else who owns a Chevy like mine. Nothing like wanting to get to the campsite and having a dead battery to spoil the evening.
