Walmart everstart marine 24ms is 135 amp hrs so can get 65 amp out by 12.2 volts 50% to stay above for battery life, and is only about $80. I run 2, one at a time and swap since they are different ages. Either runs my furnace blower at 3.5 amps all night plus minor draw for parasitic controls including frig and wayer heater throughoit unit since furnace runs maybe 50% of time. Its nice to have a backup battery to save a generator start in a crunch.

Ive towed 5000 in a 24 twin bunk with a 94 Explorer 160 hp all over the U.S. with an equalizer hitch and now tow an 18 ft VRV toyhauler at 4500 loaded with a 2018 4Runner, no equalizer. Both had electric brakes well balanced and do/did great, and you live with lower mph up steep hills and watch trans temp, and thats fine I have a tongue scale i check every trip and load at 10% for 500 lbs with up to 5000 for trailer, although at times ive been a bit over 500 early in a trip or for a short trip so running heavy forward if needed when the girls bring extra gear. I put on an18 tacoma trans cooler after first trip towing working with toyota parts guy who tows w tacoma and cooler. Its a direct boltup since 4Runner absolutely needs that to tow and NOT offered by toyota, goofy. In 90F, heat up hills trans torque converter out temp got to 220F no cooler and now i stay under 170F, and use scangauge ii since OD can raise temps by 20F in 2 min up hills.i never ever let it get over 220F I've had gauge since first time towing based on yrs of towing with installed one on my 03 yukon, which was poor mileage daily driver. 4Runner is a perfect tow vehicle to 5000 and just match the trailer weight. An equalizer hitch can be used, or air bags, but hitch is easier, have both use neither since 500 only squats rear by 1 inch or so and not a problem. Lastly ive towed all kinds of trailers and hardside with frig and bathroom and shower are best, especially in covid days. Can stop anywhere for meals on the road in 2 min in the boonies plus kids crisis bathroom stops with traffic as well. Just no substitute for the girls having a real bathroom.
