    Adding a 3rd AGM Battery to Apex Nano

    I currently have 2 AGM batteries installed on my 2024 Apex Nano 187RB. With the refrigerator being 12v I only get about 2 days on the batteries. Is it possible to add a 3rd and maybe even a 4th battery without replacing the onboard charger? For the curious, I plan to put the batteries on the...

    I had an internal TPMS die on my 2024 2515s. I contacted TST and they supplied a replacement. Today I took the wheel to a tire shop to have them replace the sensor that's banded around the rim. When the tire tech took the tire off, he found multiple metal fragments left over from the sensor...

    AGM to lithium 2024 geo pro 20bhs

    The first thing I did was to change the stock AGM battery to lifepo4 lithium. Forest river informed me all I needed to do was completely discharge the new lithium then let the system recharge the battery. Was told the inverter and converter would recognize the battery. I’m not so sure. Also, the...

    What batteries fit properly?

    New to me '22 29MV owner here. Need to get new batteries, I currently have 2 x Group 24. I don't need Lithiums, too expensive still for me, would be happy with 2 GC2 6v, but do. Not fit, too high. Thinking AGM, would 2 x Group 31 fit? TIA

    Seeking: Quality AGM Batteries... and a place to buy them.

    Hello Folks, I have been searching online and in the forum for a ride report for a set of AGM batteries for our Thor Axis 25.6 (Group 24). Lots and lots of posts about Lithium batteries, but with the infrequency we use our motorhome, the $1,400-$2,200 for a set of two is not in the budget. Our...

    Scrap Yard Batteries

    My local scrap yard has a ton of used car and golf cart batteries for $12 each, and I'm wondering if I can use them in my build. I'm building a box for them under the bus and I'm thinking if I get a good inverter maybe it will smooth out any differences in the batteries. I'll probably end up...
