I'm guessing the time has come to replace the original batteries in our coach, but thought I'd run this by the group before parting with the big bucks. It's a 2017 Mountain Aire with eight AGM house batteries and two AGM chassis batteries. We boondocked the last two nights (Friday and Saturday). Friday night after six hours, with all the big power suckers turned off, the house battery level was at 12.1 and chassis was at 12.6. Generator to the rescue and back to the 14s for both. Saturday night didn't fare so well...after six hours the house was at 11.1 and the chassis at 12.6. The gen took three tries to start, but it did, and we ran it all day while traveling.
When we landed at tonight's campground, the displays were confusing at best. We plugged in to good 50-amp power and the SilverLeaf showed ... aw heck, the pictures explain better than my verbosity. Tell me what you think, please. Batteries or something else?
