I'm planning the install of a house battery (AGM type) in our van (Millard Horizon - 17ft full van) and have shortlisted three possible locations being:
1. In the storage area under the lift up bed which is located at the front of the van. Seems to be plenty of space and reasonably easy access. Will add some weight to front of van/increase tow ball weight (less preferred location).
2. Under a dining table bench seat. Location has reasonable access by removing cushions and wooden panel. Pretty much above the axle on LHS of van (preferred location).
3. Front boot storage. Outside of van living area but would take up quite a bit of boot space. Similar weight effect to first option (least preferred location).
Would welcome thoughts (pro's / con's) on the locations I have listed above or where forum members have a battery installed in their Expanda.
Thanks in advance.
