I'm looking to add just a bit of storage on the tongue of my Flagstaff Mini. I've seen some good boxes that allow the batteries and some storage. Has anyone designed a tray or mounting method to carry a small (light) box above the batteries?

Our 3 year old 17A is not charging the batteries via the shore power cord. Following the diagnostic instructions in the Cheng converter distribution center manual I tested the voltage coming off the terminals meant to feed the batteries and sure enough it indicates a problem (low/varying...

I have a 2018 Forester 2401R, kept in a storage lot with no access to electricity. The battery switch is always off, but after about three weeks the batteries are always dead anyway. I'm wondering if this is normal? I would think the batteries (new 6 months ago) could hold a charge longer...

I posted something earlier about my chassis battery being charged by a small 6 watt solar panel and the battery voltage deteriorating . A few FRF members suggested that disconnecting the neutral would prevent discharge. I actually removed the battery brought it home and put it on a charger...

Here's a rather in depth test and comparison of the popular lead/acid batteries and LiFePo4 type. Might be surprised on how some don't even match their manufacturers specs both at room temp and cold (10 degrees F.) https://mortonsonthemove.com/best-rv-battery-test-results/ Worth reading.

Looking for recommendations on deep cycle batteries.

I have been told that these batteries should be changed every two years. With proper maintenance shouldn’t these batteries last longer.

Hello, I just picked up my new 19FBS today. It's the model with a 100w solar panel pre-installed on it. My question is, if you plan to park it for a couple of weeks should I disconnect the battery, or just shut off all the power accessories and let it keep the batteries charged up? I know I...
