You are doing something to kill your batteries early. Interstate is a good quality battery. As far as replacement, they are nationwide and carried by almost every parts store.

Sounds like you might have a parasitic drain/draw from something..... -
Pete a couple thoughts for you. First, yes if you drain a battery to where you need a jump it will never charge back to 100% again. Does this mean they are junk? Not necessarily.
are running an inverter to power things? Inverters are very poor efficiency, especially so for those cheap modified sine wave inverters sold at truck stops. If you are using anything more than a laptop you should start the apu up so it can provide juice.roshea Thanks this. -
I tested mine with this analyzer I bought at harbor freight and it kept saying batteries was good... i had them unplugged only for a few hours... wasnt long enough. Batteries were no good.

whoopNride, Expeditor and drvrtech77 Thank this. -
Interstate batteries used to be good. At one time I bought a lot of them, until they all started going bad after one year. I had good luck with Decca after that, if you can find them. The best batteries I have ever bought are in my pickups. Both are reman, and both are still going. The youngest is 6 years old. They are getting weak now, and I am going right back to the same place and getting more of their remans when they finally go.

Didn't you buy a fridge for your truck? I know they are not supposed to drain the batteries but some will.
