You will probably need to check your inverter/charger to be sure the settings are correct for AGM batteries. Some treat lead acid and AGM batteries the same. But check to be sure.
i did that for our 2006 Expedition. Should have done it for our first two motor homes. Probably could have saved a lot of cable repair or replacement.

Blue Ox and RoadMaster are both reputable sources for information snd equipment.

It isn't the bulbs or LEDs that are the problem, it is the new computer systems used in newer towables. Our 2019 Chevrolet Equinox was our first that specifically stated to not wire into the manufacturers system. Times have changed over our 38 years. To be sure contact the manufacturer and ask about specifics. RoadMaster and Blue Ox may have specifics, also.

I have not had a Jeep, but several manufacturers recommend to use the added "bulb or LED" to avoid connecting into the original wiring system. One highly rated installer in Elkhart will not use the diode system due to potentially voiding of manufacturer's warranty. I have used both and prefer the added LED system. Suggest you go out to RoadMasters web site and review the different wiring schematics for LEDs. You need to know do the turn signals on your motor home use different lights than brake lights. Same for Jeep. I had to use part of two different schematics and added their power module. Wiring took longer than installing the adapter plates for the tow bar. My auto had 64 screws to remove and reinstall and several special tools to get to the screws.

I know why Wolf10 doesn’t monitor this forum anymore, but I don’t think it is an item to be discussed here. IMO he was justified to leave. If you want to reach him, I have seen recent posts made by him on iRV2 forum.
You are correct in that there has not been very many posts here lately. Maybe the holidays, members are hold up in their winter locations, or not traveling because of the weather problems.
Anyway keep in touch, they will return.

Yes, it is. Have you been getting it sent to via email? If not, on Monday call FMCA ask for member services and ask.

And Merry Christmas to you, and may the new year be better for all than 2022.

So many new buyers recently. Maybe they found they really didn't like RVing. Anyway, it is worth asking.

I am guessing that those two batteries were possibly added to power a residential refrigerator.

Some round vents twist to adjust direction and amount of opening. Maybe yours is partially or fully closed.

In 2008 we bought a 2006 motor home with a Cat C7 engine that used coolant with SCA coolant. After draining, I used 48 gallons of distilled water to flush the whole system. I could get full strength Extended Life Coolant from Cat, now only 50/50 mix. Filled 1/2 capacity and the topped off with distilled water. I have driven 123,000+ mikes without any problems. I would change any SCA coolant to ELC.

We are 81, and this past spring we gave it up. Sold motor home November 10th. Great day because we sold. Sad day because we sold. While I probably could have driven a few more years, my wive uses a walker full time. It was just too hard for her to get in and out. It was up to me to pack and unpack. Even though the motor home was parked right beside our garage and shop, it was getting to me. It was time and we both knew it and unanimously agreed to change our lifestyle. I will probably miss it more than she, because I really enjoyed going to conventions and talking to friends we have met over the years. We are in our home, warm and family was here for Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoy cooking for friends and family, but fortunately my wife can and does do the cleanup. Hopefully, you will know when to give it up as we did.

I am just testing to see if my signature edit worked.
No it didn't.

Check ordinances of city, township, state, snd your housing addition. Some expire based on age. Our addition ordinances expired at 25 years. Our home was built in 1974, and our neighbors didn’t care, but we had a pad beside our garage and shop. The end wasn’t beyond the front of the house.
A few years ago, one county tried to limit RVs to 24 feet and hidden behind a fence or parked at a commercial camp ground, not a farmer’s field. When they realized that if the RV was parked outside the county for 183 days, they could no longer tax the RV or receive revenue from state via BMV licensing. They gave up the issue.

There comes a time for all of us. It just seems that some don’t know when it is time. Not only does Melanie use a walker full time, but I have had 5 surgeries in the past year for detached retina. I am still legal to drive through.

Today was a great and a sad day. We sold our motor home to a couple that will care for it well. We are no longer able to enjoy traveling in our motor home. We have traveled 500,000+ miles together since 1985. We had tents, popup/fold down, travel trailer and 3 motor homes. Saddest part is we will miss seeing all our FMCA friends.
Safe travels to you all

They are part of the ZAFCO family brands that are made in Thailand.

Are your batteries too low to turn it over?
-
Made this to adapt the cup holder. -
The switch isn’t with the batteries. Most are called salesman switches and are near the entry door. I don’t know if you have a mid or front entry door, but look at the right if passenger seat, above the door, or in a cabinet near the windshield. They are just a momentary toggle switch. Once off, another to turn on. If you turn them off and you are on shore power, check ti be sure your batteries are still being charged. There still may be some parasitic loads when off. I leave ours on which will charge coach batteries, but nit the chassis batteries. I added an Amp-L-Start that uses a portion if the coach batteries charging for the chassis batteries.

Are you using the correct ID and password?

X-2 on Goodyears. Never a problem with othrr brands.

X-2, but we were in our RV. I think that Ruby's is the only facility close that has RV sites and rooms in their lodge.

Many convenience stores will have a wide lane on the far end away from the store. I use Meijers grocery convenience store for our 39 foot motor home and towing a Chevrolet Equinox. Meijers is Top Tier gas and treated diesel. I avoid Flying J and many other truck stops. Local none interstate stations will usually have lower prices. Us Gas Buddy app to locate and Google Earth to check if you will fit.
