This morning we headed to Orillia to pick up Tara. Time to move her farther south to make our departure easier later this week. Of course we had a problem. Seems like a normal situation for us. We took up a bunch of stuff, put out the bedroom slide and got it all put away. Went to hook up the truck and the batteries were completely dead. I guess there was only enough juice to put our the bedroom slide to let me unpack clothes and put the slide back in. Our friend who has looked after her all summer boosted the batteries and we got hooked up and on our way. Thank you Tom and Christine again for keeping our baby on your acreage all summer.
We got to Milton Heights campground where we will keep her for a few days. This gets us past Toronto. Nice not to have to deal with the 400/401 when it is time to leave. They let us park right at the entrance, on concrete and headed in the right direction. Perfect spot. But guess what? The batteries are dead again and we could not raise the trailer. The park maintance man gave us another boost.
We unhooked and headed back to Stuart's for the evening. Seems strange to be homeless!!!
I guess tomorrow we go buy a couple new batteries. So the fun begins again!! Not sure rv'ing is all that is cracked up to be!

Your batteries are not that old. A proper battery service can give them a hard boost which will bring them back to life. Hope you have a Battery Disconnect switch in the trailer so that the Phantom Appliances won't drain your batteries. Once you start using Tara more often you won't be having that problem and the batteries will stay topped off.

Thanks Rick. To be on the safe side we just bought two new batteries. Seems like everything is working now. Thank goodness!!!
