Evans RV Adventures: Shopping and New Batteries

Welcome To Our Full-Time RVing Adventures!!

Hello! We are Bobby & Shelly Evans.
In 2006, we sold our home, "stuff", purchased our 2000 American Dream motor home and began our full-time RVing adventure with our 2 Bengal cats, Jasmine (age 13) and Kimba (age 11). We are both originally from Seaford, Delaware and married December 28, 1991. Shelly is a Registered Nurse (RN) and takes travel nursing assignments as we travel. Bobby works "remotely" for a national Internet company.
Please join us as we document our daily activities and experiences as we travel our great country!

Shopping and New Batteries

Today Shelly went with family to the Christmas Craft Show at the Salisbury Civic Center. While the "girls" were out for the day, Bobby stayed home with his dad changing out our coach batteries. It was a bit of a process but they got it done and the new batteries are better than ever. The old Trojan batteries definitely needed to be replaced, as they were bulged out on all sides. However, we believe they are the original batteries from the factory, so they did a good job. We would have replaced with Trojan's again but the prices were terrible ($110 - $180 each) so purchased Energizer (Johnson Controls) 6V replacements from Sam's Club locally for $61 each (4). They may not last as long but should be fine till we find a better price or get AGM batteries.
THANKS to Dad for all the help!!
