DougRe: chassis battery charge ?TC, it appears I' going to differ on everybody about letting it sit or getting it out. One more issue is there is rust underneath and it sits in my carport where it is very humid and moisture accumulates and does not drain well below the rv. Because of that I feel those jaunts help dry it out underneath. DougRe: chassis battery charge ?Gritdog, just took it out for a few miles and it started out on the dash saying 50% charged and went up to about 5/8 charged by the end. Do I need to worry if that dash indicater is valid? DougRe: chassis battery charge ?Thanks to all for good information. Am interested in the idea of the solar charger. I will check them all out. Have not been driving further on my jaunts because still not sure of its mechanics and have yet to be happy with a local dependable mechanic. DougRe: chassis battery charge ?Grit dog, I am sure that driving it every 9 days is better for most mechanical parts of the chassis, perhaps not the battery, and it deters varmints settling in. I think either very low in gas or very low battery charge could cause it not to catch on first try but second try being successful. DougRe: chassis battery charge ?Will check it out. DougRe: chassis battery charge ?RK, explain the problem with short jaunts and engine not getting to proper o perating temperature. What happens- what are the consequences? Is that just a battery issue or something else? DougRe: chassis battery charge ?RK thanks, I will pass on such a device for now, but wonder if I take the rv out every 9-10 days how far would I need to drive it to keep a chassis battery charge up? Dougchassis battery charge ?I drive my motorhome a few miles every 9-10 days. It occurred to me that the chassis battery is not getting charged enough. Thus the above question does plugging it in to charge house batteries affect the chassis battery? I don't have devices to check charge, I guess an auto parts store could check it. Gas was low yesterday but there was gas in there and once yesterday and once today it would not turn over and catch till the second try ( where I pumped the gas pedal to the floor before the second try where it did start. thanks DougRe: Vent fans and coversThat is the best, however I want to preserve my roof so will just put the Heng in below, thanks.
