I made it but not to far. I just don't travel like I used to. 300 miles. We left the GR area at 11 and stopped for the night at 7pm. 300 miles in 8 hours. Man I'm slow. I used to do that before breakfast.

Phil, had one of ours show very high temp and alarm when off, we were parked at gas station at time, changed battery and everything was fine. We change all batteries once a year, need it or not.

We usually travel between 250 & 350 miles a day. With the RV I've never been able to cover as many miles as when driving a car. When we bought our Jeep I picked it up in Fairfax VA and drove home to Bastrop TX 1200 miles in 24 hours back in December 2011.

That's a lot of miles. So that was before the fire or just after. I remember you bought that right around the time of that awful fire in Bastrop. Did you ever rebuild after the fire?

It was after the fire was September 4th 2011 and it is what got us to buy the RV. We wanted a tan Wrangler with a manual transmission. There were only 2 in the U.S. one in Fairfax VA and one in upstate NY. I flew to BWI in Baltimore the day after christmas and rode the train to the dealer and drove back to Bastrop TX. The vehicles we had were not flat towable. We sold our property in Bastrop. Currently we are in southern California.

She said that with out the booster the batteries run out faster. Makes sense. Sorry I didn't post sooner but I don't text and drive.

Thanks Phil now you jjinxed me I got 2 sensor failures after you posted. Both of mine were inside rears. Replace both with new batteries I had on hand and still showed one bad goes to show you even new can be bad.
