Ohhhhh! The light is beginning to dawn. Thank you for your patience!

I will do that, thank you!

It's such a great way to live!

I realize you're talking about 6v batteries here, but it seems it would be the same when connecting two 12v batteries, and mine are currently connected negative to negative, which seems wrong to me. But, if it's wrong, then connecting my solar panel to the positive of one batt, and the negative...

I've discovered first hand, how beneficial it could be to have a roof-mounted panel in addition to my suitcase solar.  While parked in my friend's driveway, and desperately in need of solar charging, it has taken me 3 hours of constantly moving my panel to finally achieve enough sunlight to get...

It helps immensely, thank you! I have shore power where I'm going to be workamping. Should I leave the batteries ON while hooked up to it, or OFF? While I'm in town, I'm using an extension cord from my friend's house to charge my laptop/phone, and plan to get a separate charging station for...

Congratulations!!! So happy that you're breaking free. And yes, you can do it! If I can do it, anyone can, and I'm in my second week and still alive. ;)

I'm happy you made it home safely. Looking forward to progress on the other thread!

This refer doesn't have a 12v option, but does require 12v for the igniter while it's on propane, which is what it's running on now. Good call on the "Climate Control" switch, I hadn't even considered that, and just shut it off. I did consider putting in two 6v, but was told there wasn't...

Well, damn. I had no idea there was so much to batteries and their maintenance! Thank you, so much, for this very thorough, and informative post.

I don't know how old they are, but the water levels were perfect, last Friday. They are 12v, group 24.

Thanks, Jo, I think I will just buy the new batteries!

I am driving a Class A Bounder, 28' long. I am not driving very often right now, as I'm in Sacramento area visiting family and friends. I drove it for 4 hours last Sunday, 1.5 hours on Monday, an hour on Wednesday, some short hops plus an hour yesterday, and nothing today. But I wasn't having...

Hooray for progress!!

I decided to jump off of East's Thread, as my issues don't seem to be "on-topic" for that thread. I did not use the inverter at all last night, but had the refrigerator on propane, which would draw some battery for the igniter, and of course, the CO and Propane monitors which I don't know how...

Um, yes, you are correct. CO, not CO2. Thanks.

Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!!! Can't wait until the next one.

I agree you've had more than your fair share of rain the past two weeks. I'll send you our sunshine, if you send us your rain. Poor, brown, California needs all it can get!

I had forgotten how it could rain here, when it sets its mind to it! That was quite a quantity of water to dump all in one night. I loved it!

Yes, I joined it, thank you!
