Batteries will freeze up if not stored(and charged routinely) or charged up by starting the unit often. It's no different than a car...if you leave a car alone all winter long, same thing may very well eventually happen. I live on the east coast and I start up my unit often, depending how cold it is and how long it is between really cold spells etc. The colder it gets, the more startups I have to do. In my four years of ownership experience, the 6 volt deep charge coach batteries seem particularly affected by cold weather. I don't have as many concerns with my 12 volt engine batteries, but they are charged too of course when I do the start ups. I also take all the batteries out of remote controls etc every year.  I usually find at least one I forget about every spring. I also had to purchase a "garage hose" to vent fumes out of the storage shed(unheated) I stored it in. Very$$. It's a lot of work, but worth it...I love my 2007 Fleetwood Bounder.

Geoff,

Thank you for your reply.  Yes, I have been told to take the batteries out.  Will do that this year. 

There are just alot of other things that go wrong that I can't ever seem to figure out!!!  It is a learning process every time I take it out.

Ps I had another electrical problem this year...my electrical shutoff would not "stay" shut off! It turns out it is a built in protection thing that occurs when you have a battery problem...sure enough, had to take them all down to NAPA and one was completely dead!! Cost me another couple hundred!!!!.

It's always something....and try to find parts! Wow, it can be a pain!
