it a 4winds Majestic 23... it is my mom's she got it from reserve america..  its been a great coach. the single skyline battery in it is on its way out. it only holds 12.0v after a full charge.
 
any recs would be great, or any upgrade ideas?
 
i'm just now learning the quirks of her class C, I don't have any input on your question, but I have a question of my own, you say your Mom got this coach from Reserve America, are you talking about the Reservation site? I wasn't aware they sold RV's ??  ![confused [emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/confused.gif)  ![scratchead [emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif) The 'Majestic' brand is owned by Cruise America. The OP misspoke.

 Yes, 4 winds builds them, but to Cruise America spec's
 
 Don't know if all units has been 4 winds but Cruise America has sold over 26,000 units since 1970.  Cruise America owns the Majestic brand.
 
 One would think they have all the kinks worked out by now.
 
 Over 40 years!

 You would think so, but Cruise America started in 1972 and El Monte started in 1970. Both have selling them for a long time with many happy campers.

 (Not splitting hairs) Here is where I found my info.  http://blog.cruiseamerica.com/profiles/blogs/cruise-canada-rv-rentals
 
 Do you have El Monte info?  Please post if you do.  Might come in handy at later date. Because of your question last summer concerning a blog or something for x-rental owners comes to mind.  I don't know why that question is still in mind but it does.
 
 Could also include Camping World, they've added to the mix last several years.

 Not to be a hair splitter ether but we all have our resources,
 ![biggrin [emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif) one came from This Article dated 2012 for their 40 year Anniversary and the other came from WIKIPEDIA 
 The info about El Monte RV came from their Website
 
 The company was founded in 1970 by Ken Schork in the town of El Monte, California.
 As you said, now in the mix is Camping World, so there is a wide array of options when buying A Ex Rental and to make a lot more happy campers
 ![[image]](http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/thumbs/smileys-thumbs-951446.gif) 
 I think what you are thinking about last summer was someone suggested that a sticky be made up about owning or buying an Ex Rental.
