    Really nice job. You might consider putting a lock on the box, I keep reading about batteries being stolen.

    Wow! Where did you get that terrific battery box? Thanks in advance.


    It's a 48" pick-up bed side rail box made by Tradesman. I modified it to work on the tongue.

    Hi,

    Very nice! Is that one of the new hybrid inverters?

    Very clean, nice work! 4 batteries should hold you for a while, wish I had room to do that. What about venting that battery box?


    Thank you, for venting I drilled 2" holes and installed louvered vent covers to protect. Drilled a couple small drain holes in the bottom in case of water intrusion.
