You should be able to mount a small box and install two 6 volt batteries on the front of the trailer. Two 6 volts shouldn't adversely effect tongue weight. I opted for four 6 volts on my rig by adding a side mount truck box to the front. I predominately boondock and wanted as much battery as possible since I'm still a few years away from adding solar. Don't like running a generator anymore then I have too. Here is my set-up;
Hrm im not sure that will work on mine. My model has a big flip down cover for the propane tanks. I really am not wild about the design, the hinge area has worn and the cover means that anything in front of the cover needs to be clear for it to swing up and down.
A bigger concern at least initially has been keeping the batteries in good shape. This is my first time dealing with solar and anything more than a car battery. Im concerned about spending a lot on batteries initially and then burning them up or running them to low before I learn what im doing. Is that a fair concern or is it fairly easy to avoid ruining your first battery/s?
