Ran 4 of them for 4 years, still loaded tested them at 95% when I sold them. Bought for $400 each at O'reilly's, [on sale], [worked good for deep cycle use. [only brought them down to 60% SOC only]

How much difference does toad weight make?
jcussen replied to Bigthinkers's topic in General RV Information
Went from a 2200 lb Samurai to a 3600 lb CRV and can tell the difference. Not so much in cruising, but sure can in acceleration. -
What Battery to Choose for Upgrade?
jcussen replied to gypsydan's topic in Technical Tips and Tricks
Battle Born's can be discharged to 100% and can be recycled from 100% discharge for many thousands of cycles. Best to do your research before buying, They do have a full 10 year warranty. They can take a charge down to 24 f, and if in a compartment with a small heat source to keep it above 24 f, no problems. They are $950 each shipped, and even cheaper if you find them on sale. 200 a/h's of batteries weigh about 60 pounds https://battlebornbatteries.com/faq/ -
Major Problem - 2019 Entegra Vision 26x

Believe you have the F53 chassis which does not come stock with airbags. Would take it to a professional, could have frame or suspension problems. -
You can use a multi meter [on dc volts] to give you a very general reading. Resting voltage of 12.2 is about 50% state of charge and battery should be recharged. Taking battery below 12.2 volts will shorten its life. Fully charged batteries should be about 12.7 or 8 at rest.

Solar controller recommendation
jcussen replied to Randyretired's topic in Technical Tips and Tricks
Have had the Outback, Midnite Solar and now 2 Victons, a 150/70 and a 100/30. Victron''s are a little more money, but much more user friendly, and the bluetooth readout without running wires into the coach a big plus. Another plus, if your tablet or phone is also on wifi or cell, firmware will automatically update when new versions are released. -

As you were told on another forum these heaters are diesel powered and would be a major retrofit on a trailer unless it already had a diesel tank. What's wrong with your propane heater?

Agree 100%. Lots of money, but 10 year warranty, and they charge up way faster. -
X2 on Bay Marine and Supply, Alan knows Victron, and normally has best price,. plus no tax or shipping
-
x2 on the blackstone and it has a removable grease tray.

They will cost you more than many others in the same time frame, but well worth looking at a Newell. There is a reason a new one starts at 2 million.

This one has rear wheel drive and will fold up to fit in a bay, or the trunk of a car. https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radmini-electric-folding-fat-bike?variant=5032656863263&ads_cmpid=1594102466&ads_adid=59229918414&ads_matchtype=&a
