How to Hook Up the Battery on a 2006 Palomino Thoroughbred Travel Trailer

Palomino Thoroughbred travel trailers are designed to work with power supplied from a power outlet or from the power stored in their battery. If you find it necessary to change the battery on your camper you can do so at home, but you may need assistance in removing the battery as these batteries can be significantly heavier than those you find in your car. Once the old battery is removed, dispose of it correctly by taking it to a recycling center.
