Re: [VAL] Moving battery from rear to tongue

["gshippen" <gshippen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I reinforced the tongue on the Globe Trotter I welded angle irons
across between the frames, then riveted an aluminum shelf to accommodate the
battery box just behind the gas bottles.  The battery sits there in a
plastic marine type box, with lid.  Wires pass through the front wall in a
spot where the original battery was.  The original box was built to
accommodate a narrow battery located in a narrow box on the front of the
trailer.

I'm with Dr. G, I prefer the battery outside.  On the Overlander it is
located inside the back utility area beside the toilet.  I have suspected
that the hydrogen gas gives one a headache, but do not know for sure.

Good luck. GAS
