Need ideas/input on 2nd battery
My van has this battery installed in a rack underneath -
I know that it's a group 31 battery - think I found it here:

As you can see, there is no info on amp-hours. I'd suspect it's around 100 ah. Probably less. This is probably a cheap battery and not a good, deep cycle one. So I'm open to replacing it when I go to a 2 battery setup.
Here are a couple more shots:
I'm not sure if this is a stock type bracket or custom fabrication for Winnebago. It's bolted to the floor of the van with 4 bolts. Looks like you loosen the two nuts and slide the battery tray out.
Could adding a second battery be as easy as finding a two battery plate and sliding it in this frame and bolting it down? Or get a whole new assembly?
Looks to me the only way to go is a north-south arrangement. There is other stuff blocking east-west unless to added a whole new single battery from somewhere on the other side of the blocking items. Which would mean drilling holes in the van, which I am loathe to do.
