I oiled the squeaky door on the camper, put the fresh food in the fridge, checked the tire air pressure and all the fluids on the truck, and patted it gently... We leave 9 hours on our trip to AZ !!!! Yahooooooo!!!!! [emoticon]

Cool, Dak. Where are you headed?

We are headed to Hotevilla to the Hopi Indian Reservation (see my other thread where I asked you about Hwy 264..I've got different directions now and will be cutting almost 2 hours off the drive! [emoticon]

)

I just replaced the camper battery with this!

It's a monster and I can't wait to test it out with the furnace!

DAK pls let us know how that battery works out. It looks really long so wonder if 2 of 'em would fit in a standard battery holder?

Loaded it for a trip to the Sierra for some cross country skiing and snow camping or maybe just cold weather camping without the snow. But hopefully we will find enough snow to ski.

Started by washing everything from the TT that will go into my TC. Measured all the cabinets and every thing else. Made a sewer hose holder from a vinyl fence post and unloded from the truck for the first time. Still think I made the right choice. Love the new Chalet.

I was looking at that DIEHARD PLATINUM Group 31 Battery too as an alternative to the Lifeline. It specs out about the same weight/performance-wise and has a three year warranty, plus is about 50 to 75 dollars cheaper each. Two of them will fit in my battery compartment easily and they do measure a little larger than the Lifelines. I'd like to know if it's Chinese or not?

Got any knowlege you've gained about them you'd like to share with the rest of us?

Hope they work out well for you.
