After our analysis detailed in our How long will RV battery last boondocking? article, we decided it was time for an RV battery replacement, to add an RV battery monitor, and upgrade the inverter remote control. We rely on the battery bank when we are not plugged into shore power or the generator. We have noticed that our original RV house batteries, which can run pretty much everything except the air conditioners, do not seem to be lasting as long as they should be based on their capacity and what we think is the electrical load. We’ve been doing more boondocking also known as dry camping (no electricity/water/sewer hookups) sometimes for just an overnight stay, other times as long as five days which is about when the grey tank gets full and we need to dump the tank.
