You’re welcome, I usually get back as good as I give. It’s amazing the new things I learn as other RVers share the knowledge back after I post an article.

Good video Ray.   Check out the battery oil additive that will extend the life and performance of your batteries.  I am not prone to using additives in my vehicles, but this was suggested to me when I bought 2 new Trojan batteries for the RV in June 2003.  Ya that date is correct, 12 years ago and I am still using them.  I keep them charged and watered properly as you showed.  The batteries are due to be replaced but are still working and showing approximately 80% of normal.  This is one additive I would highly recommend.  I use it in my dual truck batteries as well and they are 4 years old and as good as the day I bought them.   http://www.thermoil.com/

Never knew such a thing existed. That was from RVHH member Ray Whyte – http://rvhappyhour.com/members/iokuok2/

He has a very good free RVing ebook if you didn’t know. Lots of good tips – http://www.loveyourrv.com/new-free-rv-ebook-called-roughing-smoothly/

Great timing.  My son needed to check out our lead acid battery.  He had never worked with any and watched your video and knew what he needed to do.  Thanks

Thanks Ray, you did exactly as my Dad taught me. Which confirms he was right, and maybe this will help others know you are right.   I have seen some crazy people out there do well stupid things.

THANK YOU !!!  I heard about such an oil many years ago and have been searching ever since ! Anything that prolongs a battery is a wise investment, imho.
