Break Away Battery

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

I will post some later today I'm not at home with the wife on a date.

 

Photo of my travel trailer battery box with parts list.

All hard ware is 1/4"
1. Battery box same size of the battery
2. 2 bolts 1/4" X 2" with 4 nuts and 4- lock washers, plus 4 flat washers make sure the flat washer are next to the box when you put it together, 2 wing nuts
3. Battery cables 12"to 14" so you can open the box without removing the cables.

Drill the 1/4" hole inside the box lid, bolt, cable flat washer through hole , flat washer, lock washer, nut, wing nut .

connect the cables to battery lock washer and nut.



USE A RV BATTERY DEEP CYCLE

 

I should say that I have a second battery same as the first, that is not in a box to use in the 5th wheel trailers.

 

Why?

It looks to me like this setup would be okay for most of the 5th wheels.

I looked at the pictures and think I might add the connectors to the lid next time home.

 

Guess I might not do the alteration then. But, I do not pull many 5th wheels.

 

Some 5th wheels don't have a lot of room to use the box but some do. but it's always good to have a back up batt.
