I used the Ready Brake system with my 12 190P and liked it. I no longer have the RT, but still use the RB on my current MH.

You don't state how long it takes to drain the battery. Is it sometimes overnight or a more longer period, such as being stored for some time, unused? I know, on my 12C190P, the batteries will run...

I tow a 2016 Chevy Sonic LTZ automatic transmission 4 down behind my 12C190P (6L, 6 speed) Roadtrek. Fuel mileage drops from 15 mpg to 13. I use a Ready Brake braking system. Easy-peasy!

Onan Voltage Regulator

Can the voltage regulator be replaced on an Onan 2.8KV Spec K generator, while the generator is still mounted in the van? BTW, it's a 2012 Roadtrek 190P. Thanks!

I think Booster has it right. 100 AH should be enough for your needs. A single 12V AGM battery can be installed almost anywhere and forgotten about. Don't forget about a fuse block to keep everything...

I removed the exterior awning brackets from my 2012 190P. The brackets were riveted on, not screwed. This suggests that the "blocks", if any, would not be wooden. RT also used a black mastic...
