Second battery?
Hello, just need some input for those that have maybe done what I'm thinking of doing.
I have a 2001 Lance Lite 915, no room to add a second battery in camper. Not without major surgery, not something I would do on this camper. A slide camper is in the plans in the next year or two.
I'm thinking of adding a second battery to the camper, but external to the camper. I offroad a lot, and the week long trips I am in one spot, with a Jeep on a trailer. The other trips are with the family, and are moving around every day or two.
So I was thinking of adding a battery box to the trailer tongue, with simple alligator clips to run up to the caper battery (from outside).
The other option would be to put it in the bed, up near the camper plug connection (trap door under sink accesses the truck side in bed). Then add a plug to connect straight to the converter. More work, but fairly easy to do, and also will work on teh non-Jeep trips.
Lots of ramble, but thanks for any input!
