I was at a autozone once and the only deep cycle they had was almost 2 years old.

I wonder if the chassis came from Ford with a battery. The batteries Thor installs in the coachs are garbage and most need to be replaced within a year. Mine didn't even last that long. Now the batteries from Ford are good batteries and you shouldn't have a issue but I'm not sure if the chassis came with a battery or Thor put in a garbage one.

A loose or corroded connection can cause the coach battery to drain.


When I bought my Axis from CW last year, One of the tax whispered to my wife to insist on house battery upgrades as part of the deal. CW did it without any hesitation.
