Greetings friends. I guess it is time for my seasonal major Westy problem.
:(

First both my batteries dies (see thread below) now my new battery does not
have enough juice to turn my 87 camper over. I drove it for just one day,
thus I must be having some charging problems.

Can anyone please shine some light on what it may be? Or what My options
are?

Thank you, so very much.
-Shane
