RE: [VAL] battery placement

[Daniel Childress <daniel@xxxxxxxxx>]

	I have placed the spare on the tongue of the caravel.  I 
turned the electric jack sideways and placed the spare as far forward 
as possible an still get the tire cover on it.  I then had a platform 
made to carry at least two batteries.  My original thoughts were to 
mount two 6 volt batteries in this area.  I may also make a rack and 
mount additional batteries or a new univolt charger ( enclosed). 
This would open up the back for jacks, water hose, ect.,  Weight 
should not be a issue with this equipment.
