Just wanted to share a little story with all. Returning home from work today minding my own business, listing to the radio and all of the sudden….Bam, windshield broken by a rock :'(. Okay, no big deal, I have insurance :D….no problem. I get home, let the dog out and I hear a beeping sound coming from the 5er ???. Hmmm, what can that be, open the door and notice a foul smell. Okay, lets check the propane for leaks…nope not that, everything is good to go, stove/oven off, frig turned off, water heater off. Now what…still hearing the alarm and a funny odor ???. Okay, next step go outside and look at the storage compartment. Open it up and get hit in the face with the odor….(this cannot be good :'(), looking, looking, looking…..**** dog got loose and now chasing a cat….oh well he will come home when he gets hungry :-[…still looking, looking, wife came home from work, beeps the horn, scares the crap out of me, I hit my head on the storage compartment, (getting a little ****** at this point &gt;:(), she walks up and tells me she bought a new pair of shoes (oh what a surprise :o), still looking and now I hear what sounds like bacon cooking on the stove…hmmmmmm this is going to hurt &gt;:(. Open up the battery compartment and find that the water I put in the dry (and I mean very dry) battery yesterday was now boiling inside the battery. <br> Moral to the story, remember to frequently check the water in your batteries in your RV, this is going to cost me around 150 for two batteries &gt;:(. <br> Big dawg (aka Murphy) <br>

Some of those chargers while they claim to not overcharge in your onboard power supply DO!,<br> I quit leaving mine plugged up for long periods and just have the small trickle type for each battery. 7.99 a piece harbor freight.

Big Dawg, Sorry about the bump on your head, your wife has great timing. <br><br>I purchased two group 27 RV deep cycle batteries maintenance free at Costco for just under $100. Take the extra $50 you save and treat yourself. [laugh] [laugh]

Wow, I'll go there and check out the cost on both items. Thanks...
