    What's really cool is that the footprint is about the same as a group 27 only much taller and as you know Jim, no maintenance, mount in any position and no more venting with great storage.

    I'm using two 6V Group 27 AGM batts. You'll have about twice the capacity with yours that I do. Hopefully, your battery cables will be able to reach the posts on top of the batteries without a lot of modifications. Any idea how you'll secure them? I don't envy you trying to lift them into that compartment at approximately 125 pounds each!

    Ha! Should have seen us getting them out of the truck. I'll post picks after install but the mounts will be stout.

    My 379 fL will finally weigh out equal on both sides.

    A little over built but shouldn't go anywhere.

    Holy Cow! Nice looking compartment. Very clean install. Man how I would love that much room in the front compartment of my 337!

    I barely squeezed a Onan 4000 and 2 Trojan GC batteries in there and I will have a real hassle if I need to get to the landing gear on the curb side. Everything will need to come out!!





    Nice work Scott
