We are scheduled to be in Seattle that night - we'll be doing the air/space museum and Boeing all day on the 22nd. If we are on schedule we could meet up mid-day for a bit, it would be nice to break up the long day on the road.

You should be able to take the battery to a place that sells batteries and get it tested. I have never been charged by any of the places to which I have gone.

There is a very nice RV Park nearby in Wilsonville. You could stop there, come for dinner and leave the next day. Long haul to Seattle. RV Park is called Pheasant Ridge RV Park. Just across the street from Costco. You could do a big replenishment there, remember, no sales tax in Oregon. I have a card if need be. All the ribs you guys can eat. We are only 10 minutes from there. Safe Travels.

At least some damage, yes. Depending on how long it sat completely drained it may be completely dead even if it appears to be holding a charge. Only way to know would be to hook it up to the pod and put a load on it for an hour, then take a voltage reading after it sits for a few hours (unhooked) and look at a voltage chart. A dozen lights (if you still have incandescents) is a good load.
We just finished up our itinerary and we'll be at Crater Lake National ParkJuly 20th, then we pull a long haul to Seattle on the 21st. Probably going through Portland about 6 hours into that day. Love ribs and beans.

You're right, of course. Just my craziness. Quick question, Professor. I have an AGM battery installed and I suppose it was totally drained before I realized the power was disconnected. Have since connected power and I guess the battery has recharged. Do you think the battery has been irreparably damaged? Wanna watch the whales next month? Tis a yearly migration. Safe Travels.
P.S. Should you and your girls make it to Portland this summer, you have a standing invitation for a home cooked meal. Do you all eat ribs and beans?

If it is winterized I wouldn't spend the money to heat it. Last winter we hit -7 F and didn't have a problem when we opened it up in the spring.
