I'd like your opinion. Several of you have commented about battery
out-gassing and the associated benefit of having the battery outside of
the trailer. I'm thinking about constructing an aluminum box on the 67
Tradewind tongue that will hold the battery, Univolt, 12vdc fuse panel,
and 110vac breaker box. Shore power will plug into the box. The skin
is off the belly now and the wiring changes would not be hard.
On the up side this will put all electrical utilities into one location
outside the cabin and easily maintained. Out-gassing is now outside.
New storage space is available inside. A ground fault interrupter can
be installed in the new breaker box, which is not possible in the
original.
On the down side is additional weight on the tongue, but not much more
than a spare tire. It's certainly not original.
Does anyone have any good argument for or against this idea?
Best Regards,
Jim
