Re: replacement batteries

So I just checked the battery with my Volt meter. The battery was like 10.17 with no shore power. When i hooked the battery up to the camper and plugged in shore power, then used volt meter it went to 13.65. So from what Ive read and found online, it looks like my converter is putting out the right juice? So I assume the reason for the failure is/was my lack of checking fluid levels. What yall think?390Views0likes0Commentsreplacement batteries
Hey Guys, I tried to search this issue but was having difficulty finding the right info. My Battery went dead while dry camping. Now (about a month later), I smelled a sulfur type smell the other day, and the battery was super hot, so I removed it. Questions: Is it a bad idea to stay plugged into shore power without a battery hooked up? I assume it could mess with the converter? What type of battery do I replace it with, while searching I saw all kinds of opinions: AGM, deep cycle, RV/Marine type. Which is best, we only dry camp for a week once a year-we do have a generator to supplement. I read of folks switching to dual 6V golf cart batteries what is the advantage and is it advisable?2.1KViews0likes25CommentsRe: Fridge operation while boomdocking
Sorry it’s hot and I’m Hangry.....that is a real thing not a typo. I Just have 1 battery it is 2 years old. Something from wallysworld. We only boondock 1 time a year for a music festival, so actually Boomdocking is probably an appropriate word in this case. Lol Sooo is it incorrect to leave it plugged in to regular shore power at home when not using the rig? If not should I just be sure it’s fully charged and then disconnect? Or use a Tender? Or another option.275Views0likes0CommentsFridge operation while boomdocking
I have a question. While Boondocking does the fridge need a battery to operate properly when running on propane. My battery went dead and it appears the fridge stopped working. Probably a dumb question but I’ve never had the batteries go dead before While boondocking. TIA4.9KViews0likes43Comments
