Today's task is to add a second house battery.
So far, I have cut open a larger opening and replaced the compartment door to create enough space.
Next up is replacing the battery tray, then putting in two new Trojan T-105RE batteries along with a new battery monitor (Xantrex LinkPro)which I found at a steep discount on eBay.
I'll be parked in the local Home Depot lot for this project. That way I can run in for parts as I need them :)
edit: Finished the basic job, but the brackets hanging down for the underside of the floor sway, so more bracing will be required - as anticipated. I'll add cross-bracing on the back side and under the tray. That should do it. Install of the LinkPro will have to wait until after I figure out where to mount it and how to run the wires.
