Where is the coach battery for an Intervec Horizon 170?

[e1ven]

I recently bought a ~1997 InterVec Horizon van.

I'm interested in expanding the electrical system with some Lithium-ion batteries and solar, but I'm not sure where the current coach/rv battery is..

The manual suggests it should have a separate battery for the internals, but the included diagrams don't seem to tell me where to find it. I feel silly, but.. Can anyone point out where I can find it?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions, I greatly appreciate the help!

This model didn't have a tub, so I spent a few hours digging around under the back closets, and de-assembling and re-assembling them. On the downside, the battery wasn't there, but on the plus side, I did eventually find it.

Although it makes me look a bit silly, I figure I should share where I found it, in case someone else searches this page for it years from now 🙂 The battery was in a really convenient location - It's right under the bed/couch. It was in a Vented RV Battery box, and I somehow convinced myself that was part of the furnace system, not electrical.

I really appreciate the help and advice. I had nearly convinced myself that somehow THIS Horizon didn't have a battery, but I'm glad I kept digging.

Thanks again.

We had an Intervec Falcon 170 and the coach battery was under the closet floor - access was through the back door

Roy...e1ven... that's under the seat in the bathtub. Sometimes there's a well under the floor there also and the battery might be under there too. Sometimes 2 batteries, 1 on the floor and 1 under the floor. Open the back door and look under the tub.

I take it you've priced Li batteries?

might get on your back and look under the rv, or find the converter and follow the big wires backward. could be under a step,,seat,, etc.
