    Securing 12v Batteries to RV inside front Generator Compartment

    I posted on another thread my Solar wos and am getting them slowly figured out. Greatful for all the advice...

    I do have my 3 Group 31 batteries inside and hooked up, but I would like to secure them better that just a strap holding them together.

    What is everyone else doing to secure the batteries?

    Pics? Advice?

    Thank you!

    Wow, those look great, and secure.

    Those brackets are aluminum? Where do you find those?

    Thank you!

    I just got some angle aluminum and cut it as needed with a mitre saw then bolted down with many 1/4" anchor bolts. Used the same angle aluminum to make the brackets too. You can get fancier and get it all welded too of course.
