Coach battery replacement for periodic boondocking

[Pepper2]

I am in the process of replacing our house batteries. We have never dry camped before but will be periodically in the future. By periodically I mean 1-2 days at a time. Since I can not determine what type of inverter/charger I have (yes I spoke to Winnebago and for the first time they were no help) I am leaning away from AGM and thinking Marine deep cell, specifically 2 Interstate 29M brand batteries coupled with a 200w solar panel system. I understand that we will have limited resources of electricity but is it doable using lights sparingly and of course using the frig.? Thanks for any insight/input.

I would suggest Crown or Trojan instead of interstate....

my trojan's are already proving better than the TWICE as big Interstate L-16's I had.

Winnebago came thru. They just e-mail some info. including this...

Your converter is located in the bottom of the load center and is a 45 amp charger. It is designed to charge a lead acid batteries. If you want to go to AGM batteries you would need to replace the converter with one that is designed to charge AGM batteries.

Thanks,
Bill
