My Freedom Elite needed water every 3 or 4 weeks if it was on shore power. Probably meant it was being overcharged but I never got around to checking that before I traded .

Yeah, my trailer from years ago was maintenance free as have most of my vehicles since maybe 1975. So yeah, I learned this the hard way, but I got to learn about the color of the cables, why you should zip tie the cables together after you take them off one post at a time, Thor does send schematics, Coleman makes a very good maintenance stand, the battery tie down is a major PITA and those batteries are very heavy to move. Still got to buy those water tubes. Oh yeah, cleaning out the compartment with baking soda and water was another learning experience.
