I would like to do the same inverter project on this rig as I did on the old one. Given this trailer is heavier, I do not want to add any additional tongue weight. So I'd like to mount the batteries closer to the axles than the tongue. That presents a few challenges. For starters, there is no open air compartment to stow lead acid batteries at "floor" level so I'd have to put them under the trailer. This will take some fabricating and will be a PITA when trying to inspect and top off fluid levels. Also makes me wonder where the inverter would go for the shortest distance of battery cable length. And then there is tying in the relays to the system, extremely limited space for those components in this rig.
One benefit of this trailer is a 55 amp, 3-stage converter, the Sandstorm only had a 45amp converter.
