Trailer questions

[kkirsch]

We normally push a battery to around 10 days. I converted the various detectors to their own batteries which will last for years but the original pull a couple days out of the battery. Our frig does not have a fan and have replaced a couple lights with LEDs which help. The one improvement for this year was a new radio, I hooked up a cut out switch to shut it down from even the clock display (don't use a clock on vacation). We usually use the trolling motor battery for a day to get the main charged at Hickocks

    . Offers another reason to take the Patty out for a spin.

Were you able to find

     a separate battery operated propane detector? I couldn't find one. My smoke and co2 detectors run on small separate batteries.

I had purchased one from a trailer equipment catalog a number of years ago when

     we bought the camper. Figured out all the detectors were running down the battery and was determined to camp without a generator and not have to drag a battery over for charging on a daily basis.

Hi. We are tent long time tent campers looking to "move up". During our walks around Rollins we check out the trailers (pop ups in our case) and when

     we see one we like we start talking to the owners. Everyone without exception has always been more than willing to give advise and even give us a tour inside. Good luck.

One thing to keep in mind about popups - a slide-out for the eating area gives you tons more room. We bought our popup used & hadn't been looking very long - it was just a fluke that we found one with a slide-out. Thank god we did, because I don't know what

     we'd do without that extra space.
