[GMCnet] Ragusa 3-battery tray, two up front? [message #228211] Sat, 02 November 2013 20:03 Go to next message

Will TWO of the Ragusa *3-battery* trays fit in the engine compartment?

From the pictures, it appears to be 'keyed' on the perimeter which could
indicate a fit to only one side. True?

76 Edgemont is the model, if that matters.


Any help is appreciated!

The 3 battery tray RV-97 fits only on the passenger side -- but there is a dual battery tray RV-98 that mounts on the drivers side.
Look under interior items here.

If anyone's interested in making their own tray, here's a printable
template to make the job easier. Print the templates, tape them to
cardboard, then cut, check and adjust its fit before cutting the final
material. I made one from fiberglass covered 3/4" plywood about 6 years
ago; it's still in perfect condition -- probably better than my newer
Ragusa:

You'll love having the tray up front even if you don't move all the batteries up there. It does make for a nice storage area.

Nice to see some more northern Illinois coaches on the net!

Thanks to all for the helpful responses! The active GMC community was the
deciding factor for us to buy our GMC over SOB.

Good to have options, so thanks for the cleverly reproducible pattern, Ken.
Much appreciated.
