Looking for a dependable battery for Whitehawk

I'm looking for a new, dependable 12v battery.

I found out from my dealer that there has been a change in the landing gear electronics on the Eagle HT. Not sure if this carries through the Eagle line of 5th wheels or not. Apparently, if you...

tinman72 - great idea. I love that there is no drilling into the camper walls itself. I've got plenty of laminate flooring around. Once the snow melts I'll have to get to work on this.
