So sorry I made a mistake, the storage facility only has 110 volts, not amps. So it looks to me I would need two trickle chargers in order to keep both banks charged. The motorhome will be parked on cement which is the reason I asked about rubber mats. Thanks to all, Perk

Scott, First of all thank you very much for your reply. Perhaps I didn't give enough information so hopefully you will read this reply and can contribute a little more. Winterizing: It can get very cold here in the Tallahassee area so my plan is to winterize. The drop light is out. Battery...

I find a need to store my motorhome for about a year. It will be stored in far north Florida where it gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I'm not sure of the process is to do this and need some help. The RV will be stores in a stall with a covered roof and had access to electricity...

I need a way to keep all 6 batteries charged in our motor home and want to use some type of trickle charger that can be plugged in to a 110 volt outlet. Is there a really good product on the market we can use? While parked at home I am unable to hook to either 30 or 50 amp. power, so to my...

I am searching for an answer to buying 6 volt batteries. As AGM's are out of our price range we are looking for another type that would serve our needs and where to buy. There must be somewhere on line to get this information but I need some professional advice. Thanks, Perk

My wife and I only attended a Life on Wheels conference once but were planning to attend more at a later date. We are so sorry to see this wonderful addition to the RV community end, if indeed, it does. I feel some person or organization could pick this up and continue providing important...
