Re: [VAL] battery placement

[schuetzen - RKBA! <chasm@xxxxxxxxx>]

you need to figure out how much/many 12vdc/app;iances/outlets you use and then
consider simply moving your inverter/converter forward with the batteries.  you
can then run Romex back to the breaker box for the 110vac or, consider going all
110vac and buy a 2kw inverter to give you lots of 110 for your fridge,
microwave, fluorescent lighting, etc.  
otoh, if you are primarily using 12vdc, then you want to leave the Unitrol back
next to the breaker panel.
There WAS a reason why AS decided to move the batteries and unitrol up front -
and you guys with the mid 60s trailers have figured it out<G>.
Road vibration is part of it but also, it is a bit harder to keep it all dry
when you have a sink and tub/shower, etc on top of it all.  still, even the 70s
have the breaker panel in the back - I have NO idea where that panel is in later
trailers.  
fwiw
