B-man, thanks a bunch, as I understand it, I should wait until I know I need
a new battery, I think the one in the unit now works ok from what I can
tell. Send the diagram any time, heck my brother will love studying it guys
like him like to do that sort of thing. I am taking the unit in to get it
checked for a gas leak, and they will also check out the water heater and
the pipes and etc. They also will check the deep cell for me to see if she
still has life in her.
Now we are thinking of having a new "black water" tank put into our unit,
I don't know how many gal. it holds so it is hard to tell the price,
however, it looks like it has been repaired and I don't like the idea of
having a black water tank that leaks - Yuk! We also may have them
re-install the toilet, the original owner took it out because he wanted to
have it easier to take a shower. Now we like things as they are originally
so we may have it put back in, depending on the dollars. Have you ever
worked on any of these parts in your unit? -=dr=-

If you need any help with hooking up the batteriess I could draw it out
and
send it to you. It's really pretty easy.

Now Benton I really like your idea and I will get my Bro to help me hook
this up so I get the batteries in the proper alinement, he is a wiz at
such
stuff. Do you or any of the others in the group go to the chat room?

The lower the voltage the more power the battery holds and the
better
it
takes a drain....I am really not sure why one would not use this
setup
in
a
boat, if he was already using multiple batteries...You do have to
have
two
or more batteries to use the golf cart 6 volt. Your fishing friends
might
want to check into this, it would benefit them greatly.

Benton, I like your idea of the two 6's, perhaps when I need to
replace
my
current deep-cell I will give this a try. What I don't understand
fully
is
why the two work better? I do a lot of fishing with guys with big
rigs
[for
on the water that is] and I have never heard of them using
anything
but
deep-cells. Now they are not running household items on these
batteries -
just wondering -=dr=-

1. Yes they all have fans
2. If you are going to add a second battery I would recommend
replacing
your
current one and installing two 6 volt golf cart batteries. You
will
have
to
cross connect the terminals to establish 12 volt's but you will
get
power
equal to three normal deep cycle batteries and the six volt take
drainage
allot better...You can get these batteries for around $50.00 a
peace....this
is the only way to go.
3. There is a minimal amount of gas put off by the batteries,
you
will
need
to put a small two inch louver vent in the closet...they also
make
battery
boxes with a vent tube installed in them.
If these directions were not very clear, let me know and I will
try
to
be
clearer

I bought a 400 watt12 to 120 volt inverter today and put it in
my
rig.
I
looked
like a pretty good one but it has a fan in it that makes an
anoying
noise.
Do they all make noise? Do they all have fans?
I need to install a second rv battery in my rig.
If I install it in the closet of my rig will it put off acid
gases
while
charging?
