When your camper does not have a battery disconnect, you have two options to maintain the battery life. Disconnect the battery by removing one, (or both) wires. Install a disconnect switch. The best option is usually to use a battery disconnect switch but if you do not have one it is only a small price and a few different install options to make this happen. There are also many YouTube videos out there that show how this can be done that I do not need to add any but I can link some for you. From blade switches that can be installed on the base trim of the RV with out putting holes in the aluminum or fiberglass walls, to switches that sit on the battery. The main goal of the switch or just unplugging the battery is that it will stop a slow drain on the system and kill any residual voltage loss while dormant.

Today, any new camper and most every used one you purchase should always come with propane tanks. If you get a camper without at least one propane tank then it is safe to ask for one and you should not feel like you are asking for too much. Propane tanks are just one feature that dealers can add to the sale that costs them very little. The size of the propane tanks will be in either 20 lb or 30 lb. The tanks need to be filled for the dealer to check all systems, like the stove, to make sure that they work and that the system has no leaks in it. When you run out of propane on your camper it is highly recommended not to do an exchange but rather get the tanks you have filled. This is ideal for two reasons. First, when you go to ever exchange your camper at a dealer, they will want to see your original tanks or similar not a blue rhino exchange tank. The second reason not to exchange your tanks, is that if you are exchanging for a Blue Rhino tank or similar, that you lose money be...
