Re: fifth wheel battery
Thank you all for your comments. The converter/charger is a Paralax LLC brand. At this point, I need to clean up the acid/water mess, bite the bullet and purchase a new battery. Thinking about a AGM battery replacement; they are expensive but will not have the electrolyte water level maintenance to worry about.. Recomendations for a reliable 12 V deep cycle battery? Thanks again for your input.311Views0likes0Commentsfifth wheel battery
The 12 volt battery in our fifth wheel has been leaking water from the cells. The battery cell water is coming from the cell water cover. The fifth wheel has been parked for the past six months and is connected to our 110v house electrical outlet to keep the battery charged. The battery on/off switch is turned to off. I have kept the cell water level at the correct level. Do not know why the battery is pushing the battery water out. The coach battery level indicator shows the battery is fully charged. Is this a sign of a defective battery or might it be indicative of malfunctioning converter charging? Thank you for your thoughts.2.6KViews0likes11Commentswest to east road trip
Planning a fifth wheel road trip from the San Jose CA area to NC and back. We are thinking of taking a route from SJ to Barstow CA and taking I-15 north to US 2 traveling east to Michigan, continuing to NC and then return trip via I-40. We thought taking US 2 would enable us to travel east through states that we have not been to before like North Dakota and other states traveling east to Michigan. We have traveled east via I-40 several times going east so we know that route pretty well. How is the US 2 route for fifth wheel travel? Our fifth wheel is 34 ft. with a 13.5 ft. height. Truck + fiver length is 50 Ft. Are there issues with bridge/overpass height restrictions on US 2? Also, any issues with diesel fuel availabilty? on US 2? We are limited to using No. 2 diesel in our 2008 silverado 3500 so using biodiesel greater than 5% is not an option. We would be traveling during May of this year. Any comments on our planned route and issues noted are very much appreciated.933Views0likes3Comments
