MWQ, without a doubt, the 2-6V are better. The batteries are rated on how long they last based on a 20 or 25 AMP draw. the 2-6V last something like 420 minutes. The BEST 12V deep cycle is about 160-180 minutes, so 2 of them would only give you 360 minutes, max. The 6V have bigger plates. You have to watch the water level on them. I found leaving ours plugged in all the time to the RV charging system would overcharge them and bring down the water level. so i just charge them as needed.

Since you are into imported things from Asian countries check at Kipor brand generators. They make an inverter generator that's on par with the Honda inverters, and gets good reviews as well. 3500 model is rated at 56-62dBA. Goes for about 1300 though. Which is like 1/2 what a Honda would set you back. Depends on if you want/need the A/C.

My wife NEEDS the A/C. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I'll check them out though, at that price it cant be made in the same place as the quads. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Trojan T5 is the "standard" pretty much. But I remember hearing a lot of people getting the Costco Kirkland brands for much less. I'd say check the "local" Costco or a battery dealer.

From the looks of his previous jobs and recommendations from fellow customers I know, he is[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] The new 5th wheel pin box will be moving the king pin forward about 13 inches.
I am sure we can. Moving my brother's jeep to my house to help take off the rear axle[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Not sure what is wrong, but he says that's what we need to do to replace the part that's broke[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

That is good, definitely wouldnt want that to break free. That would be scary. Does the 13" affect how it feels in the truck bed?
Right now Im planning on being at the shop sat/mon. Hopefully it wont be too hot. I havnt been there too much and need to clean up a little and I have a Jetmoto nerf bar project too. And about 50 other projects when I finish that one. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Are you going to be fixing the jeep this weekend too?

I would think it'd be loud[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Had a couple of friends that built wooden boxes around them and faced them away from the trailers at around 50 feet. Still loud in the forest[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] One even tried fabricating a new quieter muffler for it. Worked alright in the valley, but up in elevation, he had a heck of a time with it running[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] finally yanked the muffler off.

On my Interstate 6 volts, they say to charge them every 30 days if not being used. Like Confused said, I charge them as needed, so in my case around every 3 months or so. Haven't had a problem with them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
