Which is the best battery for a Winnebago?
Flooded batteries are less expensive, but require more maintenance, i.e., you have to check and refill the water levels periodically.

How many batteries are in a Winnebago golf cart?
You can see the difference in size, and therefore capacity. The big decision was choosing between 6 volt and 12 volt batteries, and there are two very divided camps as to which configuration is best. One option is four six-volt, deep-cycle golf cart batteries wired in series.
What kind of generator does Winnebago view use?
Fortunately, our View is well-equipped with an Onan diesel generator that feeds off of our fuel tank and keeps us powered-up and operational indefinitely. But it’s noisy and smelly, and we typically only use it in short bursts to run our microwave.
