Re: How much anti-freeze?
50% full strength antifreeze & 50% distilled is what is USUALLY recommended….. At my business I always aimed for 66% full strength antifreeze & the rest distilled water….. And people always seem to forget that there is ALWAYS some of the old “stuff” left behind in the cooling system ( hoses, engine block, heater, etc ) unless it’s flushed out…. And if you do a good job of flushing then you have some leftover water in your system…. How much is left over in your system???874Views0likes0CommentsRe: switching to two 6 volt batteries?

I’d recommend 2 - 6 Volt AGM ( No adding water, No acid fumes, Maintenance free, can mount in ANY position, Lasts Longer, proven technology, etc., etc. ) batteries Unless you plan to roll the trailer, not much advantage with AGM and a lot of extra cost. Boil an AGM and there is no putting more water in, they are simply trash. Standard 6v batteries that are not abused should be good for 6-10yrs. As to the OPs suggested batteries, they should be a nice upgrade over the current starting batteries (which are simply re-labled as marine or dual purpose). 6V batteries are true deep cycle designs. Side note: It does seem odd that the 20amp rating is 230amp-hr but the 5amp rating is 174amp-hr. Typically, the slower you pull the amps the more amp-hr you get out of a battery. …. I would think that NO maintenance & NO acid spilling in the battery compartment & NO acid fumes would be a BIG advantage over regular FLA batteries!…………401Views0likes0CommentsRe: switching to two 6 volt batteries?

….. Can’t answer the question BUT, …. I got a Jaco Lightning T series tire inflator with a swivel head and airing up the tires went from Stupid Impossible to pretty darn easy …. I also have a TPMS….. On Amazon and worth every penny!!!300Views0likes0CommentsRe: Price of camping
….. Last night we camped in NV ( no hook ups, just bathroom with nice hot showers ) at a ranch, they just asked for a donation ( we put in $5 )….Animals & stargazing…. Tonight it’s free at a WMA with clean vault toilet, fire ring, table, water…. A little bit of searching and willing to live without FHU & there you go…..392Views0likes0Comments
