Where is the solar controller and the 12V distribution panel in your rig?
When I restored my Starcraft, I chose to have the batteries as close to the distribution panel as possible. If you have no void space below/adjacent in a cabinet, there are battery racks that attach underneath the floor. If using those, AGM class would be my choice. Installing AGM on their side results in a height difference of 8". The two battery banks I have are located inside the TT, just forward of the axles on opposing sides. I already have a spot where I can add more batteries, just in back of the axles, inside.
