Hi All,
I have a 2000 Nash 24-5N 5th wheel that came with 2- 12 volt 24 group type batteries. I really want to upgrade to golf cart batteries. Unfortunately when they designed the 5th wheel's battery compartments they only made them big enough for the 24 group sized batteries.
My only option is to try to find a place on the 5th wheel to make an extra compartment. I think that it would be possible for me to construct a box in a storage compartment that is in the front next to the propane compartment. I'd like to get opinions about doing this and if I need to worry about the proximity to the propane bottles. The propane compartment is sealed so I don't think there is an issue , the storage compartment that I would use for the battery is not sealed and has the landing gear running through it. I guess my biggest concern would be the motor for raising the landing gear and the fact that it could be sparking.
I guess if I wanted to pay the big bucks I could go for the sealed batteries.
I'd appreciate any thoughts about doing this.
Thanks
