Coincidink!! We just got this one - Sangean-MMR-88-Emergency-Flashlight-Smartphone Charger Weather radio . Just last week ahead of our cross-country trip. And for the same reason as you did. So far, so good - well it seems to work as described. We had an Eton weather radio a few years ago and it was utter junk. We'd be interested in comparing notes.

A good choice! Is the 66-70 lb weight ever an issue being too much for one person to handle alone? The SCS225 battery is more of a marine battery, meaning it is designed to deliver high amps. Do you know how your 30xhs bulk, float, and equalize voltages compare to what your converter/charger puts out, or your solar charger if you have one?

We use the factory solar controller and/or the factory PD-4050 controller for normal charging, and a Vector 1089A digital battery charger for equalization. Peak voltage in that mode is 16.2, temperature compensated.

Brian, when you equalize, do you disconnect the battery and Vector charger from the trailer electrical system to prevent the loads and charge controller from seeing 16.2 volts?

UPDATE 9/8/16: Appears to have gone out of business... We have had the opportunity this summer to try out two new filtration products from Genius Clear Water Systems: WaterShield In-line Filter , an in-line ceramic fresh-water supply filter with strainer and the WaterShield Ceramic Element Showerhead with built-in ceramic filter and strainer. These can be used in our RVs while camping and also at home in domestic applications such as filtering the drinking water supply and for...

I haven't bought one or tried one, but I saw this on Jay Leno's Garage. http://www.nbc.com/jay-lenos-garage/video/automotive-battery-chargers/2816863?onid=155411#vc155411=1   Supposed to be a very good charger....

Will be getting this tomorrow, so I'll be posting my findings and reviews here!  I think it will perform as advertised, it's very compact, has a flashlight, can charge USB devices, etc  This thing should allow me to have many tools that I...
