About house batteries? Has anyone out there added more than two house batteries to their vans? I am
considering adding a third and would like to know if
that would work, or if I am likely to have problems?
Has anyone tried this?

Really no different than having two. The main thing to consider is all the batteries should be the same type, same size AH, and age when banked together. If you have an older battery in the loop and it holds less of a full state of charge than the others, that battery can pull the newer one or ones down.



Another choice is going with a single larger battery. Keeping it simple (less connections) sometimes is also a consideration.
