I upgraded to three group 27 batteries and added one 195 solar panel. Problem solved. I have not had low voltage problems in three years now.
On another note, my battery storage is very tight, making it hard to check water levels. I am looking into a water maintenance system. system

I know, I Know... Old thread... But, I think its worth reviving since there's no closure on this one. And!!! I have the same issue. Took it in to the dealership and they blamed a resetable breaker in the battery box.. Well, brought it home after 6 months for repairs and my 6v x 6v batteries would no longer hold a charge. Never felt they had enough cracking amps for the hydrolic levels anyways..
Went out an got the size 24 AGM batteries because thats what fit in the battery bay and I have 400w solar that should be enough to keep the batteries going? Right? Also, I got better things I can be doing than constantly watering batteries??? Once a month? REALLY??? Also, we not big dry campers. Always on land power when were not traveling.
Anyways, brought the AGM's home and put them on the trickle charger for full charge before I installed them. First thing I did was raised the leveler legs, got the dreaded "low voltage!!!" Guess I'm going to be doing some crawling around to tighten some wires and clean some grounds up....I will report my results.. stay tuned..
