So is a 30 amp dedicated charger be enough to fill the void left by my Prosine 2.5 ?

Depends on your 12 VDC consumption, how much you dry camp (and have to run the generator to recharge the batteries) and whether the 30 charger is a smart charger (smart chargers will BULK charge at higher voltage, then drop voltage in FLOAT mode).

Scott,

This is the one I have had maintaining my coach batteries since my Prosine charger quit. Near 1.5 years now and never a problem. I need to make the time to get that Multiplus installed....never enough projects.

This one came recommended here on the forum several years back.
