Hello
I'm considering a lithium battery to replace the lead acid battery that came with my GC 2950RL travel trailer. Given the cost of lithium batteries, I wanted to protect against theft so I started looking at lockable battery boxes. Surprisingly there aren't many on the market and the ones I've seen range in price from $200-$500. It got me to thinking that I could move the battery inside the cargo bay. I'd sacrifice some storage space but at least the battery would be out of sight and locked in the front cargo bay.
Has anyone done this kind of retrofit? I'm guessing having enough cable to run into the cargo bay might be the biggest issue...anything else to watch out for?
thanks,
Chris
