Hi all - I am looking to add a third battery to my TT. It has 2 12V Deka deep cycle/marine batts that are just under 1.5 years old. Will I run into any issues with adding a third 12V batt? Should I try to match specs with my current batteries? After ...
Hello fellow RV friends! I have a travel trailer and was wondering if I can disconnect my batteries for the winter so that they last longer but still have it plugged into shore power so I can use the heater? Should I turn the converter off too? Thank...
