Does anyone carry a Jump Box for their RV?
I've been stuck recently due to a mistake of leaving items powered. Luckily I was near someone with a Jump Box. RV started right up.
The new Battery Management Systems do not necessarily give you an opportunity to see when a battery is low. My VW just stopped turning the engine out of the blue. Most other systems in the automobile worked fine but the BMS shut off the high draw items, like the starter, acting like a LBCO. This to avoid killing the battery, which would interfere with door locks, etc.
