Took a quick look
One dinette has water tank
Other 1/2 filled with some box
(Will identify)
Other half has a criss cross 2 inch Steel brace blocking the open space
Will take photos
I'm pretty sure I can find a guy to cut that stuff out and make a steel frame versus crisscross that would leave open space for a battery. Not enough room though for a 4d
I could fit a group 31 in there and then another group 31 under the dinette
Giving me 200 amp hours
The amount of space and the dinette would be the same used
I think I would rather free up the space and the dinette for an inverter and probably the solar controller
Then place the 4d Under dinette
Scotty:
Stumbled onto your photo album
In ancient times you build a rack to sling a battery underneath
I've got room to do that
But being is I have to farm it out
Will add additional build time
My goal is to be on the road using the rig the soonest possible even if it's for daycamp in for overnight trips with my baby girl
Being a single dad AND running a business
Leave me virtually no spare time
I still have to find a solar installer
So far here's what I've determined
Refrigerator
Replacing with truck fridge
Solar
I need about 300 watts
Battery
I need another 2 to 300 ah
Installer to be found
Battery location to be determined
Components I'm not too worried about
I'll probably go with the blue sky products
Inverter
Don't think I need one because I have
The generator and the only thing that I would use it for is the AC and the microwave
Feel free to poke holes in my current plan
I think Scotty or Ron Should come here and just get the work done for me. And Dave can keep them warm with his campfire in a can. [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
