    05 Rockwood 2601 power problem

    Hey all. Having problems with ac power. Camper has been sitting about a year and, even though shore power was connected, battery was dead.

    20BHS/Power package

    Hi, new to the forum. My wife and I are considering buying the Geo Pro 20BHS with possibly the Mastervolt Power package. We're new to RV'ing and see ourselves leaning more toward boondocking than full hookup sites. I've searched out some solar threads and articles but still can't grasp how much...
