The vMax Tank battery should be very good, at a price of $300 each. Are adapters available for the battery cables. My setup uses the standard lead or brass battery posts.

I replaced the flooded lead acid batteries with two AGM from Batteries + Bulbs. They seem to be holding up fine after several years. When not in use (most of the time) I keep them on an...

10,000 miles per years is a lot of driving. I had the same speed situation with the diesel pusher years ago. So smooth.

What is your average fuel mileage?
Do you find the ride comfortable or...

AC Question

We recently drove the RV from FL to KY in relatively cold weather. The cabin heat was turned on for most of the trip. Yet whenever I stopped, I saw condensation on the ground that had dripped out...

At the time, I suspected that the float might have risen too high in the tank and somehow got stuck, because it stayed at over full for so many miles. After driving over 100 miles, I was pleased to...

That would be a perfect location for a tool box. I don't know how deep the space is. I carry about 100 pounds of tools in the trailer. Also a bottle jack, air compressor, and air hose.

We bought our MH in 2015. I think I turned on the TV once to see if it worked. It did. Never opened the cabinet again. I suppose I could remove it and store Slim Jims in the cabinet.

Even at $2.76 a gallon it would cost me $.36 a mile to drive the RV. Right now it's costing about $.50 a mile which is beyond outrageous as far as I'm concerned. We limit our use of the RV to travel...
