First of all, are you sure they are 12V and not 6V?... the batteries... He is VERY oncerned about all the weight on one side, the handling, the safety of driving... as above comments they should have been dirtributed throughout the chassis with equal lenght, size, wiring. The tilting mechanism... you will never use it, just extra weight... and $'s... Glad that you did not go with the original plan of two inverters which also did not make any sense.<br>Better take care of this while you are there... My friend, who would love to do mine at no labor charge is an expert, but unfortunately too far for me to go to... (Vermont!).<br>Just thinking of you... be well...

It provides a lot of information (especially appreciated by us gals who travel solo) to help understand what each "thing" is, how it works, what is involved with installation, and costs. <br><br>Thanks.Gail from Orlandonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-22074799377232210522008-02-01T02:31:00.000-05:002008-02-01T02:31:00.000-05:00Wow!As a metal fabricator, RV'er and engineer ...Wow!<br><br>As a metal fabricator, RV'er and engineer I do not like how they mounted the batteries. I would revisit that whole arena sometime soon. The AGM's require only maintenance to keep the posts clean which can be averted with proper terminal paint found at Freightliner truck dealers. I would make a hinged, drop down tray for the batteries somewhere under the chassis that allowed periodic access yet, secured the batteries hard.pjcnlvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680147559223397833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-52437318661033160062008-02-01T00:34:00.000-05:002008-02-01T00:34:00.000-05:00Hi Froggi,JC here.

Most everything I've read recommends 6 volt batteries for their better deep cycle capabilities and longevity versus 12 volt. And SIX of them? Isn't that an awful lot of weight for your rig? I know most Class A's only have 4 6 volt batteries (like mine). Why did you go with so much?<br><br>jcw3rd@mac.comjcw3rdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440682578115222295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645722792801480537.post-32749857423532231262008-01-31T20:57:00.000-05:002008-01-31T20:57:00.000-05:00Donna,You are on your way, dear friend.

Glad it seems to be working out the way you wanted everything to go. And I'm STILL jealous!!FupFairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579837108263100282noreply@blogger.com
