Battery Tray thread:
As I get closer to actually believing I will be joining all the nice people here on this forum, the more I want to put in my 2 cents and try to help where I can.

Is there anything about the Kwikee or other "RV specific" slide out battery trays that would make them the only possible alternative? What I am thinking about are the myriad types of slide brackets available for the cabinet industry that are easily capable of holding a large TV. Is corrosion a problem?? I am picturing a tray exactly the size of the present one, mounted on slides that attach to the one already in the truck. The new tray could be made of a variety of materials, possibly a heavy plastic? I would not want metal because of the impending corrosion. I even have a scrap of Corian that could work.
What do those interested in a second battery think?
(btw, this is not an advertisement!!)
