Hello RVers!
Dan here. Brand new to RVing and I am working on getting our rig ready for the road. We have 04 Gulfstream SunVoyager that is built on a Workhorse W24 Chassis. The 'stock' chassis comes with a Battery Tray mounted in front of the engine. It is a Heavy L beam steal tray, suspended off tabs welded only on the backside of each end. This is where the Chassis and House batteries are placed.
At present the three batteries there are @100-120 lbs. I am looking to upgrade the house batteries to two larger 6V batteries that would add @120 lbs.
MY question is: Does anyone know how much weight that Battery Tray can handle? Anyone reinforce it and have suggestions?
Thank you for any and all help to this RV noob!
