I had the same issue with my 2011 Greyhawk. I fried two batteries by leaving it plugged in. My on board charger didn’t have a float mode so I boiled two batteries to death. Once I charged them up, I...

I’ll be the other voice. I specifically left the class C to go diesel. I hated that V-10 screaming between the seats. Jumping up to a class A diesel increases your maintenance costs by a large...

Two 6 V batteries will be the ticket to get you through the night using those appliances plus running your heat if needed. 2 6V will give you more usable amp hours than 2 12v batteries can. The only...

Race car = fine. I’ll blow my motor from revs before anything else. Stay away from the street car and RV. I don’t feel the need to repeat all the above posts. The ONLY benefit from a K&N filter is at...

Last day with the Jayco

Is there a place to source only the steps and not the whole unit? I bent mine a while back and while straightening them helped, it’s not really fixed right. It puts some strain on the motor.

If you have space for an even number of batteries, I don’t know why anyone would go with a 12V battery. I have had both. 6V is so much the way to go. The batteries are designed for this type of...
