Use the quote button than type what you want. That way all will know who you are thanking. (As seen above) If not anyone can jump in front of you and no one will know who you are talking to. You have posted 5 thank yous but we don't know to who you are referring. Once you put a name in your reply. That works also. You can also use colors in your response as I did here by making it RED. (you must highlight and select color to do this) And the BOLD button

Also go to CP user and fill out a signature like mine that will show up on all of your posts and let everyone know what brand and model of RV you have and where you live. (as seen below)

The old house battery has no information printed on it so I am not able to make a comparison as to the number of Amps, or any other information.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Measure as Bob stated. Be sure and buy a DEEP CYCLE battery. Not a car starting battery. Not just a marine battery but a deep cycle marine battery.

See where the quote button comes into play after 22 post. I can also use it to replay to anyone's post. Not just yours.

No need to worry about CCA. you are not trying to start anything.

Glad to hear that you found the right size battery. Good luck testing it out!
