Why does my camper have two batteries?

A parallel RV battery bank increases the current but allows the voltage to stay the same. If you join two 6-volt RV batteries in parallel, you will get 6 volts, but the amps will now be increased. Two sets of batteries connected in parallel can be joined together to form a series power bank.

What kind of V-10 does Fleetwood Tioga have?

This RV has the Ford E450 V-10. For a 24′ RV, its chassis is overkill and that is what I like about it. Drives wonderful, tho its suspension is on the stiff side. But thats why it drives well in wind and among semis passing by.

How much storage does a Fleetwood Tioga have?

Only ding is very limited outside storage, just 2 exterior compartments, about 6 cu/ft on the drivers side, about 7-8 cu/ft on the passenger side. But there is plenty of inside storage for food, clothes, kitchen/bathroom necessities, gear, etc.

Why did my Fleetwood Tioga have a water leak?

The Class C overhang stored much water as a result of a not-so-slow leak and finally collapsed. The ceiling fell and the water poured fiercely onto my husband while driving. That RV did end up doing one thing excellently without hesitation. It hid Christmas presents extremely well.

Why do 12 volt batteries need to be replaced?

If 12-volt batteries are parallel wired in pairs, there’s a problem called “cannibalism” where the weaker battery draws current from the stronger one. That’s why matching batteries should be replaced in pairs, even if only one dies. A significant advantage of six-volt batteries paired in series is they don’t cannibalize each other.

Can a 6 volt battery be used with a 12 volt?

Six-volt batteries must be installed in pairs wired in series so their combined voltage will be 12. When 12-volt batteries are used in pairs they must be wired in parallel. If 12-volt batteries are parallel wired in pairs, there’s a problem called “cannibalism” where the weaker battery draws current from the stronger one.

Can a flooded cell battery be used in an RV?

Flooded-cell batteries are often installed as original equipment, and deliver good capacity at a relatively low price. These “wet” cells require periodic filling with water; which should be distilled to prevent mineral buildups. If batteries run low on water and electrolyte to the point where plates are exposed, they may be ruined.
