Sorry to hear that so many things were FUBAR on your Leprechaun, mr.doug. Your YouTube vid was nicely done.

We bought a pre-covid 2019 311FS Leprechaun with some known issues and did repair much...

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. I think you are right that the group 24 batteries length and width are very similar to GC2 sizes and both fit in most battery trays.

I took still-working G-24's...

It seems some folks found a blue light that turns on the Wi-Fi booster that now often comes with new RVs.

Good info, thanks Maxx.

As a similar instance, I installed a pair of Duracell GC2's under the step of our 311FS Leprechaun. Although of slightly less height, they are still a little tighter, I...

nvs4602,

HelG, welcome to the forum.

I wonder if there is a typo in your post? I believe some folks here have a 298KB that they like very much, but I couldn't find any info on a Leprechaun "289kb".

I can believe that they'll turn at lower voltage. But they'd have to be on some pretty slippery rollers. When we assisted by pushing one side in, like I mentioned above, it was demanding work.
