We are looking at the Pinnacle 36SSWS online until we can find one close to us to see.

We intend to do a lot of dry camping so we are curious about how many and type of batteries you can have if you have the Onan generator installed.

Any help, recommendations, pictures are greatly appreciated.

We have 6-6volt AGM batteries connected in Series/Parallel for 12volts with 672ah. I prefer Lifeline batteries but they were on back order when I needed them so I am using FullRiver. They have been fine too.

Just curious.... how many amp/hrs a day do you think you are gonna use. Do you have a residential refer? If you don't, than you may want to do a power inventory. No matter how many amp/hrs you have you'll still need the genset for the rooftop AC unit.

No res fridge. About 140 amps daily. No starting batteries One bank does it all. I charge primarily with solar. I do have an electric 12v/AC freezer in basement. The foot print of the 6 take up the battery tray. No room for more.
