Help with adding extra batteries
I know this has probably been beaten to death, and I've searched and read a lot of the post about it, but I need help figuring out how and where to mount a couple extra batteries. A little background ...

Yeah, I think you're limited by the plastic tank cover and the slope of the trailer front side. I moved my tank holding base right up to the jack but I don't have a plastic cover. I mounted a box on the front that will hold two grp.31's and a junction area for all of the exterior trailer lighting. As it is, I decided not to mount any batteries up there because I didn't want to add to the tongue weight. Now, I store blocks, hoses and other stuff in the box.
FWIW, all of my batteries are inside the interior--3 AGM's and 2 6V GC2's. Kind of convenient since all of my larger wires have short runs. I made a vented battery box to house the 6V's. It's not for everyone but it fits my needs pretty good and I don't have to worry about theft (as much).
