Got the RV my daughter bought to the house. Got it hooked up and while I have not checked the gas side; the fridge and water heater are working on 110. A/C blows cold and inside looks in good shape. It will need a new rubber roof soon but I do not see any leaks yet and we can use a carport to protect it till then. For $900 I think she did OK.
So now I try to fix the 12 volt system. It has one of those make believe deep cycle 12 volt batteries in it. A marine cranking battery with a deep cycle sticker on it. They said it was bad but I put a charger on it and it charged up. So I suspected the onboard charger was bad and sure enough it is.
SO........... 1) While I can use this marine 12v battery for a while they really are not made to last with constant charge and discharge; and a new set of Trojan 6v batteries get pricy. Any one have experience with other 6v batteries like Sam's or Costco sell. What true deep cycle 6v flooded cell battery do you recommend.
2) The converter/charger is dead and will need to be replaced. I found some paper work in the trailer on it and do not like what I see on this old charger so do not really want to replace with same. It only charges at one constant low setting. Got to looking around on the net for a multi stage charger that could deal with Lead Sulfate problems better than a constant low charge from a single stage charger. Found the Progressive Dynamics PD9245C, 45 amp power converter with a built-in Charge Wizard. Any comments you can make on this item??

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
