      How do you add water to the batteries? The space is very tight and the batteries do not have a slide-out tray. Any recommendations?

      Thanks

      I use my wife’s compact mirror to check water level. I bought a turkey baster type device at the hardware store to add water.

      I use Telescoping LED Lighted Flexible Inspection Mirror 360 Swivel for Extra Viewing and also use turkey baster type device to add water.

      I installed a battery watering system. Best thing since sliced bread. If you have the Progressive Industries converter/charger add the remote pendant that tells you the state of charge the unit is in. Once it signals that full charging is complete, that is the best time to add water. For me, that is usually after a 2 or 3 nights hooked up to shore power. If not used for 5 weeks or more, I add water on the first of each month due to having a solar panel.
      With the battery watering system, you won’t “over water” or over fill the batteries. It will only allow you to add as much water as the batteries will take. One of the best, time saving mods to any RV I’ve owned.

      Some batteries don’t need watering. Our 2015 came with 4 DC224-6 AGM batteries.
      Check to see what type and size they are before doing anything.
