I have removed the onan and can actually get 4 trojans in the space left. But would rather have 2 in front and 2 in the rear.
I am confused as to the 'balance' discussed as to the resistance of the connecting cables. Can anybody help?

Peter,
You have to get the article from the recent FMCA mag. Contact Byron Songer and have him send you a cleaned up copy and digest it all before you do anything rash.
I am out of time, light and patience (my wife's dog ran off last night and we may have to depart without). This is not good.
So, I will be brief (you can ask questions later, but I will be underway for Pawnee). If you put all the batteries in one place, your change of making them agree will improve.
You have a '73 23'. Run it over a scale. You have as heavy a front as anybody, but the ass end so light that if you run E (they can be C) tires, the books don't go that low. Put all the house batteries back there. It will simplify everything and you will be happier. A BF Onan is about 350# (sorry for the English units), T-105s are about 78# ea. If you replace the BF with 4ea - T105, you can still add 34# of copper or Canadian Whiskey before you get back to weight. We do need to talk about the battery box ,but I an fading fast.
I said we will be underway Friday and Saturday, but Mary drives most of daylight and I will have Inetac most of the time and be navigating and browsing. So try questions as soon as you have them and wait patiently.
Just so you know, I am at the nickle on the dollar track. If I could sell hard won lessons at a nickel on the dollar - I could travel all year. I am glad to help and won't even ask you for the nickel.

Matt, hope you found the dog. Maybe we will see you on I-40 tonight. We will get on at Conway, Ar.
Got your email Peter. We are leaving too so my response was brief. Hollar back if you need to and I will respond when we get to Oklahoma.

Dan,
First.... The Dog came home on her own - sore and tired.
I doubt we will meet on the road. We will not be underway until tomorrow morning. I am hoping to hold up at the casino across the river from the arch. Where next depends on whether we run the OK toll road or not. What I can find out is that it should cost 6+$, at 3.8/gal if it saves 20 miles, that is good. That will get us to Shawnee real late, so we will probably look for a good ONP and roll in Sunday Morning.
See you there
Matt

From Mo to Tulsa will cost $6.75
From Tulsa to Wellston--$6.75 NOT my choice of best route.
From Tulsa to Chandler--$4.25 Shorter & better roads. Take SH 18 South to I-40, Then go West to Hwy 177 (Exit 181), then South.
The Turnpike is faster & shorter. One toll plaza on each turnpike. Well worth the cost. Lord knows I spend enough on them.
