House Battery Upgrade - Where to put 'em??
Hi all! We're getting ready to upgrade our house battery setup (adding a nice pure sine inverter, etc).
We're in a 2003 Fleetwood Flair 33R. It has the stock pair of 6V batteries. They're doing fine for now, but getting a little old. Since we're about to add the inverter, it's a great time to go ahead and replace them, but we're wanting to REALLY beef up our boondocking power at the same time (TX and FL in the heat of Summer means AC at night!).
I'm still running the math to see how much juice we'll need, but running an AC unit, computers (desktops in some cases), and keeping up with our geeky TV shows will have a draw. May end up popping 6 6V batteries in to cover it.
That being said, the Flair's stock batteries are under the hood, so we'll definitely have to relocate. Any opinions on the best place to put the new bank? Storage compartments are reasonably roomy, so not sure we would "have" to use a sliding tray...
Thanks for any insight!
