True, but I've also made a bit of money repairing friends trucks because they sat for a few weeks found that they wouldn't start, stop or were no longer safe to drive, because gas vehicles don't like sitting either, so why not have a trailer and share it so it gets used, the savings in not having a 2nd vehicle licensed and insured would more then pay for a new set of batteries every 5 years and it could end up costing less then buying a cheap small truck.
