new to me camper

Hi, I just purchased a 1991 Slumber queen 100WS that's in great shape on the interior and outside. I do have to take out the furnace and replace the sail switch and figure out why the fridge isnt getting power or why the battery isnt charging.

It has an old power centre with glass fuses and a master reset push button, so I am looking at upgrading that to a new style with a proper charger and adding a couple 6v batteries and solar to it. question is how to people mount better batteries in these older campers?

It does have a little door on the front side of the base that would allow me to reach into the drivers side area of the box in front of the wheel well so building a rack that I can put them in before the camper goes in is the only thing I have figured out so far.

thanks
Steve

  • Congrats on the purchase. As far as storing extra batteries, are there drawers or storage under the dinette? Maybe you could remove a drawer and install a battery box where the drawer used to be?
  • Reaching is one thing but ventilation is another. Is it ventilated? I wouldn’t guess...be sure. If so and you remember to disconnect, you are good to go. No space under the hood?
