That is my understanding also. Maybe a drain transmission oil change every 7k miles which will completely change fluid by the 30K miles. The thought is that a transmission flush at a shop is just not...

After reading all these comments, the whole idea seems questionable. I thought it was more to run AC overnight. If something breaks, you deal with it.

If I was in Phoenix in the Summer, leaving a...

That is true but @50% discharge, you have 500 cycles and @80% discharge, you half 1/2 that with 250 cycles. So always discharging to 60% would cut down on life of battery, I think.

Some people...

I did not realize it took that long or that realistically you have less than 50% of usable capacity. Along with the claimed longer life, it makes the idea of switching to lithium batteries more...

I thought AGM batteries will charge in about 5 hours. Charging at 20% of capacity, it will charge about 30% in 1.5 hours. The remaining 20% will take quite a while, for a total of about 5 hours. Why...

Those are some real winter camping temps. Would be cool to be able to do that more or less comfortably. I always think that it must be so much nicer in the winter without all the summer tourists.

Draining only captures a certain percentage of total fluid, not sure of amount. One method I have read is that instead of a transmission flush is to drain and fill, drive 5 miles and repeat 3-4...

Skirting around the RV helps. One problem is moisture which leads to mold. The more you use a propane heater, cook, shower or even from breathing, the more moisture. So sufficient ventilation is...

My understanding was that using high idle was more about the emission system not getting fouled up. Maybe if one does some hwy driving for a while it is not so necessary.

I thought you can charge AGM batteries at 20% of capacity. So how are you using the 180 amps? It does make a good case for lithium battery bank. That is a lot of amps in a short period.
