[A/S] Battery dead resolution



This must be a normal occurrence, as my Argosy acts exactly like 
this.  When I first noticed it, I thought that the furnace was going 
to need work, so I went through all the normal preventive maintenance 
stuff, like taking it out and cleaning it, loosening off the 
thermocouple and retightening it to ensure a good ground connection, 
etc.  None of this helped.  Then I changed the battery and put my 
spare one in, and it worked like a charm..  I get about two nights 
with not too much extra use on a battery in November here in Ontario, 
and then I have to put in the extra battery and charge the primary.  
Since I have the Honda genny with me, and it has the battery charge 
feature, it works well doing it this way, and I have furnace all the 
time, and no battery acid fumes boiling up into the trailer, as I 
charge several yards away from the trailer.  But the fan did not 
stop, and it cooled the trailer down pretty good in November, blowing 
cold air.
