Just a final detail about my experience here in East Texas. When I decided to go with the "golf cart" batteries I first called on a Golf Service center in the Longview, Texas area. He was very helpful, and kind enough to say that if I was going to do the installation myself I would be better off to buy the batteries at a battery supply house. I checked with a couple of places in Longview and actually found the one who supplied the Golf service center. I got the batteries for about $55.00 each which was about $10.00 less than the Golf Center would have asked (but their price is based on putting them in a golf cart). Photos and descriptions of my installation are several pages back on this thread. I have not actually tried out the new batteries on a trip. We have been home bound for more weeks than is normal for us.
