North Central Florida is spring country. Dozens of clear freshwater springs feed the Suwannee, Santa Fe and Ocklawaha rivers, and many of them have campgrounds. It is also where I-75 and I-10 cross at Lake City, so a huge share of Florida's RV traffic passes through here.
Battery issues we see here
Shade and dampness. Spring campgrounds are often under heavy tree cover. That is great for staying cool, and not so great for solar charging. Owners who rely on solar here often find their batteries running lower than they do elsewhere.
Dry camping. Some campgrounds in the Ocala National Forest and state parks have limited or no hookups at some sites. If you run on batteries for days, battery bank sizing matters.
Cold snaps. Gainesville and Lake City see frost most winters. Weak chassis batteries tend to show up on those mornings.
Through traffic. Plenty of our calls here are travelers mid-trip, at a fuel stop or rest area on I-75.
