Great choice. Using the unit and trying different things will lead you to providing for your true needs.

Just take time to check the batteries on a regular basis. Keep the level topped off with distilled water, and keep them clean. If you buy a gasoline generator at the start, keep it maintained and run it on a regular schedule.

After boiling out the H2O in one of my batteries due to leaving it hooked up forever and neglecting to check levels , the topic of converters is very timely for me. 3-stage sounds very convincing as well as different batteries... am looking to cut/reduce maintenance issues where ever I can and focus more on where I can't.

A quality 3-stage converter/charger and 'set-em and forget-em' AGM batteries will solve your problems for quite a long time!

OK just when I thought it was safe to go in the water....I'm confused.....

In my Argy I have a "Univolt" which I guess cooks the batteries. So I was going to upgrade to to the "Inteli-power 9200" 45 or 60 amp unit. Along with a complete re-wire of the coach in total.....35 year old wiring cannot be trusted...

Now the question is....do I go with the Intel' or ??? 45 or 60 amp?

Pitch the whole thing and get a tent?????

Any help , please?
