Hi All,
I am new to RV'ing and have a 2025 Revel (built on 2024 chassis) that I bought new in May '26 so this is my first time preparing for winter. I bought it from a dealer in Florida while I live in Ohio so can't go back to the dealer (and unfortunately they are not at all helpful remotely with phone calls/emails).
First, the chassis battery doesn't seem to last more than about 2-3 weeks of non-usage (house batteries are fine). I find myself putting the vehicle on a trickle charger even for short periods between uses. This seems unusual to me but I wanted to check with the community to see if that is typical and my expectations are just off. Also, perhaps there are settings on the vehicle itself that I should change - if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it.
Second, I am looking to winterize the Revel and watching YouTube videos it seems there should be a siphon connection just below the Winterization valve but I don't have that on mine. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong location. Does anyone know if early builds perhaps had a different setup or if I am just looking in the wrong place?
I appreciate any insights.
Thanks
