One quick way to find lots of storage up front is to change the chassis battery over to AGM which needs no access for maintenance so you can stack whatever on top of it. AGMs don't off gas either so your PD can sit right on top with just a hunk of anti fatigue mat as an insulation and vibration damper.

Try mounting it behind the dash. Remove the glove compartment and look for spare space. Look under the passenger seat. Also under the hood up high.
Those are a few ideas.

Jerry,

My coach is a 23. The house bank is behind the right headlight and it gets road crud. I was just looking at that this afternoon and the handful of road dirt convinced me that AGM or no it was not an idea I could live with unless I could get a PD certified for salt water immersion. But thanks for the thought.

Ken,

Behind the glove compartment is not large enough and to the right is where the reefer inverter lives and left is now the residence of the Dana cruise control brain.

I am starting to like the under the passenger seat idea. I already have to pull a new run for the reefer, and I could pull two. One from the inverter to the reefer receptacle and the other from the converter receptacle to a new receptacle under the seat and then just s few short heavy runs to the boost solenoid and the shunt. We give up a little space under the seat where we already have too much stuff.

The reefer power currently goes through the dash and I don't like that. This is making me think about running it through the engine space.

Thanks All

Matt
