Chassis Battery

I have a Damon Astoria 3776 made in 2010. Can someone please tell me where the Chassis batteries are located? I called Damon and they can't find the specs for a vehicle made in 2010, (last sentence is not a joke).
  • Thanks for all your help/suggestions. I got a call back from Damon and they suggested I look under the seats. Yes, I'm new to the RV world, thanks for the patience of it's more seasoned members to a question that shouldn't be so hard to answer.

    And if it is...people have presumably helped a newbie to find their chassis batteries and hopefully help solve whatever larger problem they were having (if any). Future newbies might also be helped without any of us ever knowing it because they searched for the same information, and found it. None of that sounds terrible to me.

    It's a DP on a Freightliner.

    Have you looked in all your bins? I can't imagine a battery is hard to find.

    A quick google search shows a lot of the same units with pics of the bins and batteries.

    Check this one:

    The Chassis battery is positionied by the chassis maker.

    I know in 2005 Workhorse put the Chassis battery inboard (Behind) the passanger side front tire..Just ahead of and above the axle.. but I do not know if you have a "W" model (workhorse). or a Ford and I do not know where Ford hid the thing.
  • I believe it's built on a Freightliner chassis so I would look in rear two compartments on both sides. I would say on the left / driver's side, second compartment from the rear. There will probably be four house batteries in last rear left compartment and two chassis batteries in the second left compartment.
