    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    New charger is ordered. It does have the temperature probe as well. I will probably try to get that installed and see how it goes. I don't have any really long trips planned for a few weeks. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Yes its on the AMG/Gel setting. Bulk is at 14.4 IIRC Think swapping chargers and giving these a good charge will bring any life back? It appears they are likely 10+years old. Fullriver seems to have switched from the grey to the blue cases around 08/09 ish

    Battery Musings..... Why can mfg's stick to regular sizes. Same dimensions basically, but more amps and $$ with FR. Trojan 105AGM, 217AH $916 avail locally. Fullriver 250-6 250AH (what I have now) $1469 shipped Lifeline GPL-4CT, 220AH, $1463, avail locally. These are 2.3" longer, I may not...

    The charger is definitely not the most advanced.... But wouldn't being on charge for 3-4 days be enough, even if only a trickle? I watched amps draw while driving last time, it dropped down to 4 for a long time then went to ~1.5 ish Details here...

    Yes agreed. And it seems mine is only good for ~250ah to 100% depleted. I'll have to take a look at that gauge. Interesting for sure. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    It's a tripp lite inverter charger. Only choice is the generic profile, it is set for AGM voltages tho. Yes I do have it on the app as well. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Its plugged in full time when not in use, so they should get a full charge no problem. And yes it's at the voltage spec for the batteries. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

    Ok batteries are real tired..... Pulled 101ah out. Was sitting at 12.2v with minimal load, and dropped to 11.9 anytime a decent load (heater or fridge) was applied. Victron gauge is funky. 101ah pulled out, but was saying 86% bank left? I only have 500ah total. Sent from my SM-G973U using...

    Battery banks and RV windows, worth it?

    I did dual pane windows. Pros, glass stays sorta clear, a little better insulation. I did glass tho, was afraid of scratching acrylic. Cons, still an alu frame, sweats like any other. And I camp in the cold a lot. Lithium batteries don't like cold. I used 6v AGMs Sent from my SM-G973U using...

    What a nutty weekend. Headed out late on Friday, with a big storm coming in. Did not make it very far.... Highway closed. Tree fell and a car hit it. But they cleared in about an hour. Made it to the pass as it was nuking snow. Parked finally. Get up early! We got 4th chair Sat and 6th...
