Hey guys I'm new to the whole RV world but I'm full time living in mine and have been in here for 2 months now, I'm located in Colorado and obviously it gets cold.
When I bought the RV the battery was not holding a great barge so I ventured to camping world and was sold on 2 exide stowaway 24mdcst batteries 80 amp/h each. After some more research I'm finding out that these aren't true deep cycle batteries but a hybrid and I'm seeing them not hold much of a charge after one time getting them low on charge.
What I'm trying to ask is what y'all would recommend for a guy who is living full time in the RV who wants optimal battery usage in cold weather, I also have 1 100 watt solar panel and am looking to add more so a battery that does well with charging off the grid.
I'm looking to spend somewhere in the range of 300. Hope you guys can help me out with this one! Thanks I really appreciate all the knowledge I see here!
