I'm taking my family on a 4 night campout at the ski hill and we're calling for 0 degree weather. Here's my questions:
1) At Home Now to Feb 11: I got 2 brand new 6-volt batteries hooked up and they are fully charged. Should I leave the batteries on the RV now until we leave plugged in and topping off (cold like 25-30 degrees at my house at night) or take them both off and put on a maintainer?
2) At Mountain Feb 11-15: Up at mountain will be very cold. I have a generator and plenty of fuel. plan to charge up batteries so they are topped up just before going to bed like 7PM and hope for the best from then to morning. Any suggestions to keep from running out of battery in the middle of the night? should i wake up and check levels and see if should fire up the generator? dont want to wake up with a freezing family...thoughts? We're packing cold weather sleeping bags and extra blankets for a family cuddle fest if crap hits the fan.
any suggestions are welcoen. our first-time cold weather - no plug in. thanks!
