I’ve found that a cellphone on a telescoping “selfie stick” will allow one to take pics or video in otherwise impossible to see areas. Be careful not to let the phone fall off though! Don’t ask me how I know.

Oh, that is cruel, Al. And Funny!

Can vary based on fitting size. Use the manufacturer’s spec.

As others have said, call Bennett. Whether it works for you will depend on all the details. A Montana LLC works for some, but not for all.

Dthomas – With your autostart at 22v you’ll be buying batteries again prematurely, especially the Chinese ones. Suggest you set your autostart to at least 24v.

The 330 is a pretty significant jump in capacity for the same physical size. For 3 batteries you are looking at 240 extra amp hours. For four – for four – 320. So it’s a pretty but jump.
relion is based in North Carolina. I believe their manufuacting of these batteries is in Asia.

How come my XL manual says SHC630?

I am here, at the entrance to the camping area. Folks are coming in pretty steady

Here’s my response from my rep and tech from Relion:
Tom, Measuring the bottom of the RB200/300 case; Length 485 mm. / 1994” Width 260 mm. / 10.236”
That should clear is all up.

Hello,
I will be replacing my house batteries this weekend. I have a 1998 Featherlight Vantare with two Trace Inverters and replacing my batteries with 8 4D life lines. I need advice on the shutdown / start up procedure.
Step One
1) Turn inverters off
2) Turn DC Man off
3) Turn off all AC breakers
Step Two (outside inverter bay Vantare Panel)
1) Pull Distribution Panel Button to OFF
2) Leave Alternator Disconnect Switch
3) Turn off 24 Volt feeder breaker to Inverter 1 and 2
4) Turn off inverter output breakers
Step 3 (Water Bay)
1) Turn off shore power breaker
Thanks!

Jon it’s the same document I linked as well. But notice the footprint is significantly smaller than the reported dimension of the battery ?
but yes – you either modify the trays or find batteries that fit.
In terms of directional – I’m not sure I would trust that until you determine whose cells are in those relions and whether they allow you to turn them on their side. Lifepo4 batteries – many believed they could be turned in any direction but there seem to have some longevity issues of those that did. So depending upon which type of cells – determines whether things can be used in any or all directions.
And turning them on their side does not get rid of the problematic dimension – namely the 20″ one. You can’t solve that problem by turning it sideways….
as for 31s – you don’t gain anything there because you can’t put the 31s in an arrangement (due to the 13in side) in some way to get a multiple of that to fit. You would essentially end up with 3 x 31s or maybe another manufactures fourth would fit but not relion as the 6.8 side doesn’t fit in to get under 19.5.
But a size 24 battery fits 3 wide almost perfectly in to an 8d. But for whatever reason there are few of those options. It’s almost better to use xcell, calb or what not to come up with that dimension. Because Victron mastervolt battleborn relion etc are all stuck on that 13in width which doesn’t multiply well in to 19in of space.
I’ve tried many. I have many lithium cells. I have them in my boat and about to replace in to prevost as well. Trust me – the dimensions are important.

Good morning,
I don’t know if you are looking for slides, but Donnie Myers has a 2001 2 slide Hoffman same mileage and price range.
Good luck in your search,
Chris

My Sub Zero male and female parts of the catch have screws easily accessible from the sides in the case of the female and straight in on the door.

I understand that both Marathon and Prevost offer some sort of prepurchase exam
Typically who pays for this service? Sounds expensive.

Don and June are great folks. They took great pride in the coach and Don did a great job of maintaining and improving it. I believe it was last at Marathon in Eugene. Don will be able to give you great information.
