Mr. Kirk, does this being an 18-amp charger mean that my generator has to be able to produce 18 amps?

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate all the help I can get to try to understand my issue. Most all the tec stuff mostly makes me fall asleep!I have a 2000 Itasa Suncruser. I have no idea what kind of inverter/charger I have, or even where it is located. I have two group 31 batteries that are only a few months old. We are doing more boondocking nowadays and find when my batteries are charged with the Alternator they come up to 12.7 or 8. And will last our needs overnight or longer. And as I run the generator each day that goes by, the batteries have less and less staying power. Until I start the rig again. I have the idea that it's like a balloon at first and each day the generator and charger only pump the batteries up 80 percent of the day before. So I understand this. My question is how can I stay off the alternator or shore power without going to solar? I'm thinking I need a bigger battery charger to do what the alternator does. I have a 10 amp portable charger that only brings the batteries up to 12.6, whether charging for an hour or two or three.. same results. Falls down to 12.0 in just a few hours. Won't stay up like the alternator does. Looking for options.

Will a 15-amp battery charger bring my house batteries full up while using a 1000-watt generator?

Is the grade into Death Valley as hard as it seems on my research of the area?

Can anyone offer any experience with this route, Climbs or Grades. Boondocking or otherwise things to see? We are 37' pulling a toad!

In central California? Any sugestions are welcome.

Can an Onan 6500 Generator simply plug into my rig to replace my Onan 5000 without having to change out other electrical components?

As per most of my inquiries the post has gone south. Sorry to have once again thinking I might find some sound information here.

Ok now there is information! So, you were given a title and a temp plate from Utah, for a month?

Well thanks for the information offered. But I was not looking for advice on how to break the law! But was looking for how I could legally buy an out of state car and not have to go immediately back to Missouri to get the inspection and other paperwork done. Not to worry I will ask around.

My residents is in Missouri. I wonder if anyone has some experience with toad breaks down have to dump it. Buy an out of state car! Don't want to go home for a few months! Can I simply hang my old plates on my new out of state car and wait till I get back to Missouri to settle up the inspections and paperwork? Any incite would be appreciated.

Thanks for the information

Thank you

Has anyone opted to stay at the Silverton RV Park next to the Silverton Station and done the Train ride from that location? Is it possible to walk up for tickets as opposed to Reservations?

I don't want you guys laying awake at night worrying about my inability to read a voltmeter. And wanted to let you know I took Mr. Dutch' suggestion and got the Starter Solenoid and put it on. And it fixed my issue. Thanks for all the suggestions.

So, if I am too dumb to read a voltmeter and think my batteries are ok, I can disconnect all the batteries and replace this part?

Thanks

Is the item on the left the item I need to replace?

Is it possible to take a ferry from Everett Washinton to Port Hanlock? And if so, how much is the cost for my rig and toad? I'm trying to get from the western end of Hwy 2 to the Olympic National Park and Hwy 101! Any suggestions apprecated.

Thank you, Mr. Kirk, Motor-Aid Version helped me a lot! I could not figure what to search for.

Atwood 90073 XT Gas Water Heater - 6 Gallon Maybe someone can give me some direction. I need a new water heater. This is a photo what mine looks like, but it is advertised as Gas only?
