Where to install an extra Battery?

I've always been very please with the Products from TorkLft,

& I've been struggling with the thought of where can I add a 2nd battery into the very limited area on my truck with a Lance 900 camper on it?
Normally I try to get electrical hook ups when I vista your typical camp ground & yes U do have a 2.8 Geni.
But even then most camp grounds have limited hours they allow you to run the Geni.
& I have many more trips planned to places like Pismo Beach & other places like the desert & the moutons & etc etc....with no hook up at all & figure I need the extra 12 volt power.


I really DO NOT wanna give up compartment space to fit another battery but have been considering it for the past year..

But then kooky here & What TorkLift is offering.

So I now have the products & have to save up to buy the biggest Battery that will fit in the box.
& then get started on this project.

Here the parts I got from TorkLift.




Whats awesome about it is that it bolts inside the frame rails under the truck & saving me what limited space I have above..

hound be a great set up for my needs.

the question running through my head is is do I run them together or install a switch to have it as a back up battery incase the other one fails?

Either way should work?

Yet if I keep them apart I will always know what battery is the bad one & that alone could be helpful?
