Adding extra batteries - where do I put them?
In our 2020 Cedar Creek 29RW it came with one battery. I added another as soon as I got it home but the battery compartment/bin only has enough room for these 2. We don't boondock often but it seems I...

JMO, I'd not want to deal with a huge battery bank, for just an occasional boondock. I'd rather buy a light wt 2K gen, that can easily handle the charging needs. I have a Champ 2K 100565 for my seldom no electric campouts. Works great for all but AC.

Well, given that we don't boondock often, I'd rather keep costs down than buying another generator. If I really wanted to I could put the 6k genny I have in the back of the truck with no incremental cost. Really just looking to add an additional day to my usage and it seems the easiest and cheapest is just add 2 more batts. The 2 group 24's I have are almost brand new, so I am not sure it makes sense to replace them with 27's. BTW - I totally see the merit in either options suggested, but we just don't boondock that often to warrant a lot of expense. $200 I could double my battery bank, I am just not sure where to put them.
