Where to mount 2 T-105s

[xtremexj]

OK, I need some input from some of you pop up owners. I need some suggestions on where I can mount 2 T-105 outside on my Bronco 800. The Optima yellow top just isn't cutting it for boon docking so I think this is the way for me to go. The problem is, I don't have a sealed storage area inside that I can use so I need to mount somewhere outside. Any thoughts are appreciated.

will they fit under the hood or under the frame? I did mine that way to eliminate taking space in the camper and one less thing to load and connect.

How about a sealed battery (or two) mounted inside the camper. I have two Interstate 75 amp hour AGM batteries and have been very happy with them. I think Interstate makes a DCM0090 (90 amp hour) battery if I'm not mistaken. I made a custom enclosure for them. See my details here post #40.

If you are going to keep the truck for a while I believe it is worth the effort to chassis mount them. I have built several cradles to mount batteries along the frame or behind the rear axle... Have always been happy with the result.

Thanks for the input guys.:elkgrin: I never considered under the truck but I'll see what I have for room. I'll also check out the Interstate battery link. I can't do more than 1 inside battery or I take up too much of the wife's storage space and then I'll really be in the dog house.

Do you have dual alternators on your Superduty?

If you don't the bomber setup would be a pair of 105's mounted under the truck, and a dedicated alternator on factory brackets with a Balmar regulator. Might as well mount the inverter behind the seat of the truck. You would be surprised how handy 110V on the truck is.

If it's inside or underneath in a hard to reach location I would go with an AGM.

I like a manual battery switch to combine and separate, especially with solar.

Nope, single only. Don't think I want to get that creative, but thanks for the input.
