We purchased our 07 Safari SE at the end of November last year from a dealership in Connecticut and drove it back to Wisconsin.

We stored the two marine batteries that came with the camper in our basement from November 30 until we used the camper last week.

On the fourth day of our trip last week, we noticed that the batteries were no longer charging.

We stopped at an RV dealership in Alabama, had them tested, and discovered that the batteries had around 8 amps (volts??) each, and had to be replaced.

I am a little miffed that the batteries did not last longer than one use for us, and am considering writing a letter of complaint to the dealership, since the Safari was brand new when we purchased it.

Could we have reasonably expected more life from these batteries?
