Battery Recommendation

Originally posted by Patriot Dave Looking at your battery case I am assuming these are easily found. Bolt to the frame? Also regarding percentage of SOC, what is typically used as a measuring device? Thanks

If you are asking about my box.. a link is in my mods thread.. page 9 I think.. Just click "furpods mods" down there ..

We often camp where no electricity is available, that is why we ordered our 177 WITHOUT A/C, entertainment center, and mico/convection oven.  We normally stay at national parks for at least a week at a time, so we are grateful to have 2 batteries.  At Glacier (nightime temps 37 - 45 ) our 12 v battery was good for 4 days and the furnace ran a lot during the night.  On day 5 we would then swap batteries.  During the day, very little as we would be gone hiking and furnace was set as low as possible. 

Yes, boondocking is "off the grid"  or camping anywhere you don't have electricity to plug into.

ok

Found it on page 9 thanks.

It looks like you have a meter mounted on the right side portion of the box????

Dave,

Your wife sounds a lot like mine.  Since we purchased our 177 in 2011 the toilet has been a Really Really NICE addition.  We don't miss those other 'conveniences' I listed above, hey we are camping and enjoy the simpler life that goes with it.  It is so nice in those shoulder months when we normally camp (April-May) and (September -October) in the North to not have wet canvas slapping us in the face when we put up or break down camp.  We enjoy the coziness of a solid unit - no canvas.
