Sooo, after walking thru my buddies blacksmith shop.... I think I'm going to have a new rear bumper installed. I'm going to mount a torklift box to it, put my batteries in there, and wire the rig that way...
I move the weight to the rear... Can run all four batteries... Short runs of cable... The only length of any cable will be the solar. Down through fridge vent. Thru subfloor to underbelly, then to the batteries.
You will not see any cabling in my rig... No way Jose.... Lol
Any thoughts..
Yeah, don't disturb your tongue weight by doing this. and the back of the rig gets the most amount of shaking, abuse, and bounding around, going down 101, or the i5 or whatever messed up truck laned freeway or interstate you drive on here in so Cal. You only get to trailer in the far right 2 lanes, the ones all the big rigs have destroyed by trailering overweight vehicles in them, destroying the road bed.
I think it's a bad idea, IMHO. Last thing you want is the tail wagging the dog on a travel trailer. Improper loading, dangerous to you and others on the roads.
