Hi,
Coat the roof with Herculiner.
Then install the new battery bank at the rear bumper on a rack welded to the frame. Run #6 wire to the OEM connection or to the power center which ever is easier.
I assume you are messing with me now. Herculiner the black truck bed coating does not seem like a good plan.
Wow really? I read a few threads about how it was a very bad idea to install batteries on the rear bumper. I had had that thought too, but most of the threads said that is one of the bounciest spots on the trailer and would damage the batts over time. Also if you were to back into anything or to be rear ended in a wreck battery acid could be all over.
I can assure you PT is not messing with you. He just forgot you have a TT. That often happens when you don't have a sig or profile and also when the topic is in a general forum.
You may be interested to know that I switched to AGMs and now store the TT bank inside and under the dinette seat. The bank is now adjacent to the power center. This keeps charge wiring very short.
Take a look at my profile.
HTH;
