Travel Trailer must haves

[Murminator]

On your 5th there are probably in somesort of cabinet wich is usually a tall one with vents on the top and bottom. Just make a shelf and put above the other battery so they are stacked. My is a tag trailer just had to modify the bracket from holding 1 battery to 2 batteries

and where can we find one of those essential items? I've seen the window decals on the back of a few trucks around Valemount, are they available for sale here somewhere?

those 6 volt batteries are pricey little buggers, they want $242 each for Optima batteries, and $185 each for the Interstate brand. waiting on a price for Exide 6 volt, were they that much down south? they didn't even offer a kiss......

Yup I paid around $500 for 2....try costco I heard they can bring them in pretty cheap

okay, thanks Murray. going to go with the Interstate batteries from the local RV dealer, nearest Costco is 2 hrs away in GP and fuel will prolly eat up any savings. Bumper to Bumper called this morning, the Exide 6 volts are $120 each from them. the Interstates are the middle of the road price wise.

Thanks again for your help and advice.

At the home page on the left hand tool bar you will see a "store" icon. You can get them there.

the funniest thing i see and here every summer is the wife or the better half standing behinde the trailer yelling all sorst of directions for backing up as i know most men are good listners so grab a set of those walkie talkies drop one on the console and the other to the wife and presto no more loud sheriks across the campground because lord only knows most dont have backup cameras on their rigs.

That is a great idea!!!

I was wondering the same thing about 12v vs 6v, do you need an inverter to make it work?
