2018 vegas coach batteries

Are the coach batteries sealed snd don’t need to be checked for water levels?

You can tell by looking at the top of them and seeing if they have the raised caps that can be lifted off. I very much doubt that they are sealed.

My two coach batteries are not sealed and I have to check them on a regular basis. They are located under the inside step on my 2018 THOR Siesta 24ss.

That is the reason I asked, they don ‘t have the raised cap like i am accustom to. There is an area that is recessed and looks like i could get a screwdriver in a slot and pry it off. I will take picture tomorrow.

Yea, got pieces off, batteries needed water. Now only need to cut strap off as latch is corroded shut and strap is aligned over last cap.

Also i was able to winterize it, it turned out 27.7 is already set up and very easy to get antifreeze thru lines. By the way this model did not even take 1 gallon, including P-traps.
