Four 2 X 4's

Rick, good plan. Thanks. I don't have access to a level driveway but think I would move to someplace level, like a concrete pad to do this. Thanks. Jer

Big thanks

Gotta admit, I was starting to lose confidence, having never owned a Hi-Lo before and getting worried over whether new batt plugged into 30 amp was going to lift top.

Am much relieved

Thanks...

Rich, charger part of inverter is working.....so now, only prob is that top rises VERY slowly.

Batt is brand new. She's been plugged in to 30 amp shore power for 3 days/nights straight.

Slowly learning about inverter

Sam, Thanks. I'm learning and am always in too much of a hurry.

Are fuses easy to find?

How much will a new inverter/charger cost me?

While plugged in to 30 amp, is my new batt getting charged?

Basic, I know. Sorry, but when I am plugged into campsite 30 amp, is my new battery getting charged or not?

If not, do I need triccle charge to keep batt charged?

Thanks
