#256 of 258 Still going... by mark156

Jan 16, 2013 (9:56 pm)

I'm still traveling but not as many trips as some family issues have come up that have taken my attention away from RV trips. But, tomorrow I'm heading to Quartzsite, AZ, meeting 116 RV's in my travel group. We'll have 5 days of fun, pot-luck dinners and a maybe a libation or three.
 
We do have a trip planned for upper Michigan in July as my nephew is getting married and it should be beautiful that time of year!
 
Just bought a new 2013 Honda CR-V so I had to have it set up for towing like the '07 CR-V. $3,500 later and a new front protection cover for $400, we're ready to roll!
 
Come on folks, start RVing!!!! It's good for building family memories!

PS. We're at almost 57,000 miles on our 2008 Monaco Dynasty purchased in April 2007.

#258 of 258 Battery mania by mark156

Feb 10, 2013 (9:16 pm)

It's been almost six years since we've been RVing. So, since we are ALL electric, I wanted to change out our 8 house batteries (we still have 2 chassis batteries that start the engine ). I decided to go with the AGM batteries as they are low maintenance which means that you don't have to add water monthly and have much less sulfating (white powder that you remove with baking soda).
 
I had the slide-out battery trays repainted as they started to rust from the sulfating. They look fantastic now!
 
The AGM's were $359 each which was a BIG commitment, but worth it!
