I would not need a big expensive battery?? Am I thinking correct?

Hi JIM Q,
The answer is "it all depends".

1. What are your coach specs? Brand, fuel, etc.
2. How do you camp, full hookups or boondock?
3. How long are you gone for?
4. Is there a switch on the dash that allows the driver to combine the batteries in case the engine will not start?
5. Does the coach have a generator?

Let us know and we can go from there.

I carry one of these Costco - Peak® 450 Amp Jump Starter. Just plug it in overnight once in a while to keep it fully charged.
