    Today I ripped the aux battery out from under the truck and fitted it up in the rear, in front of one of the drawers. I was sick of seeing high temps on the battery monitor due to its proximity to the exhaust. 49 degrees C on much of my last trip convinced me it was killing the battery and I wanted to move it. I am posting this here as it really is a specific thing to the Brunswick conversions as there is no room in the engine bay.

    Couple of pics.

    New battery location. I just used the same battery box as it was easier to mount than a tray.


    Shortening one of the drawers...





    Just used rivets to refasten the back of the drawer.





    Battery now sits right behind the Redarc BMS.



    Now have some re-wiring to do to complete the job. Some new lighting, compressor power, and a fuse block are being planned.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
