2 Battery banks built from 6 volts
Hi all, I did a quick search of the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have a 2018 17ft Jayco travel trailer. The majority of our camping is in the middle of nowhere. (boondocking) ...

not a tone of room on this small tongue, but angle iron might be the trick. Didn't want to put a ton more weight on the tongue, but may be easier than the truck box.
I share your concern. I think you might get them in there, but that tongue doesn't look real stout. AM/Solar has a nice 2-wire plug set up that is 8ga. wire. It is kind of like a 2-wire version of the 7 pin plug in we all have on our trucks/trailer. You could put the "extension cord" with the male plug in the truck all hooked up to the two batteries in the back of the truck. Then have the female end mounted on the trailer and be wired in to the coach batteries. When you get on site, roll out the 6 or 8 gauge extension cord and plug it in. Not real tidy, but do able.
Wire this in to your coach batteries and mount this.......somewhere on the trailer tongue.
Put what ever amount of 6-8 gauge wire you attached to this and have it wired into your batteries in the back of your truck. Batteries in a secure box. It would be like a "power pack" to just plug into your coach batteries.
Just a thought.
