I did this for a few years using three 12VDC Interstate GP24 Batteries in parallel across my trailer tongue...

I am now working on a BATTERY BANK of two groups of two 6VDC batteries in series using a TORKLIFT box... This extends out on both sides of my install rails... Fits perfect inside the two welded on rails on top of the trailer tongue... The torklift battery box lid slides on and this is great if your trailer has any overhang on the the tongue area.

My new setup will have two 10WATT Solar panels on the Torklift slide off lid to trickle charge each 6VDC dual Battery group...
My Dual Bank diagram will look something like this except I will be using DURACELL Batteries instead of what is shown in the drawing... All is working fine so far on the work bench will have it installed on my trailer tongue soon...
