Has anyone installed an RV Lock Box to replace their plastic battery box?
I bought one for my Momentum 23G sized to fit 2 Group 27 batteries. The box is wider than the L-brackets the plastic battery boxes currently sit it, so RV Lock Box says to just put the metal box on top of the L-brackets and screw down through the bottom of the box and into the bottom of the L-bracket. This leaves a 1.5" gap between the bottom of the box and top of the L-bracket.
Has anybody done it this way? It seems like a bad idea. My plan was to get some square-tube aluminum 1.5" wide, but that in the L-bracket channel, but the box on top of the aluminum, and screw through that into the L-bracket, thereby taking up that space and making a more solid install.
Any comments on the RV Lock Box installation suggestions or my plans?
