Age catches up with all of us. The Airstream is no exception.
The trailer has two deep-cycle, 12v batteries. They're used to keep most of the accessories running when we're not connected to shore power. Yesterday, the trailer system monitor detected that the batteries had almost no charge. That wasn't a good sign since the batteries were fully charged last week and hadn't been used.
So, after 6 years of service, it was time for replacements. People on the Airstream Forum say they get 3-4 years of use. We really can't complain.
Thanks to Matt Brown (Carol's son-in-law), we were able to get new batteries today at a $100 savings. They're installed, tested and we're ready to go ... honest.
