Got Matt from Extreme Automotive and Marine Installations (Home of 12Volt) to fit my Auxiliary Battery ... Nice job, neat, strong...
Pirhanna battery box, but cut off the top fitting, and ended up needing to fit different Marine Grade tie downs. Strong... Geez I don't plan to tip it over but sure it will stay put..
I've run a 20 Amp Anderson Plug to front and rear, and the twin Merit setup in the back for fridge, etc...
Also modded my 12 Vdc compressor to Anderson Plug, and used the cutoff 12V Pos/Neg, some lead and another Anderson Plug in case I need to run onto a battery.
