I am assisting with some work on a pretty stock 73 GMC sequia. I had the owner go out and buy a ragusa sliding battery tray, because when we originally took a quick look at it, I noticed there was no rear battery, and he was complaining the interior systems were not working, and his gen light was on. I just figured someone had removed the house batteries.
now that I was able to spend a weekend with the coach, I have figured out(or remembered) that 73 has the house battery up front, and in the back they just have a battery for the onan.
So I have everything now back hooked up properly- stock. He had 2 new batteries for the front, a nice starting battery and a nice 12v deep cycle marine/RV for the house. Isolator is working and I installed a combiner.
so the question is, we have a nice ragusa sliding battery tray by the onan, now. and think it should be filled up with batteries.
How would one suggest the best way to do that? just install it with a shut off/switch. the question I am getting at, is as I understand we would not want to tie it in parallel with the 12v marine/deep cycle up front and make it just 1 larger battery bank because they might drain each other or melt down in a cell failure?
how have others done theirs?
