Battery hold down straps

My battery straps deteriorated after 7 years and I looked around and could not find anything. One of our friends said to go to a fabric shop like JoAnn Fabric or whatever you have out there. Buy a pair of parachute buckles and the length of appropriate size nylon straps and you are good to go. My wife didn't want to stitch the closed end so I took it to the local shoe repair. This really works.. Jim

I did actually change it not long after getting it home, so that in theory the power goes through both batteries equally, it is set up so positive is on one battery and the negative comes off the other battery, which is supposed to be better

Not to hijack

Parts man....I'd drop that neg cable to the bottom battery, you have plenty of cable. ... It'll help with charging, more consisting voltage reads, and overall battery life. But I'd strap them in somehow

Here are how the batteries are set up in my 2004 Wilderness lite 24.5

They are in the original battery frames. The compartment is located in the front right side of the trailer(just rear of the landing gear) and is open at the bottom and has most electrical terminals in there. The battery cables are routed to bus bars. The breakers and fuses are there also. The trailer is a 2005 Komfort 278FSG.

Usually they are in their own boxes vented to the exterior, especially if there is other electrical in there such as slide motors, etc. Was this a modification?

Our dual batteries are in battery boxes strapped down and with lids.......kinda like wearing a belt with suspenders

Strap them down......batteries bouncing around even a little is tough on the plates, the terminals and cables.

The roads whether they be Interstate, secondary or backroads are rough. Interstates being the worst overall.

guess that answer will depend on the roads you travel. if in the mountains then you should be on the safe side and get two straps.
