So I've owned my TM for about 3 years now, but I have only had the battery for 1 (didn't realize I needed it for brakes -- shows you where I'm at here). Though we normally camp fully connected, I can run off battery, and my braking mechanism works from it (glad to have it). The problem is that the battery charge keeps getting lower and I don't have a way to charge it.
My question is, can't my Odyssey Van recharge the TM battery using it's alternator? I'm told I don't have the connection to make this happen, and it would be about $150 to install it. I can buy a battery charger for $70.
My question is what is my best option? Charger or charge from my van?
Is there an option to have a device to "top-off" my battery while I am parked and connected?
BTW - Please point me to a discussion of this if it has already happened.
Can you say
?
Thanks in advance!
