Next day was securing the batteries, I had to fab up some brackets to hold the works in place, then started hookin up the wiring, these are six volt batteries so they need to be hooked up in series to make 12 volts, then in parallel to get 470 Amp hours, which should be enough to stay camped for three to four days without charging.
And the camper batteries need to be isolated from the truck battery with this thing, this senses when the altenator has charged up the main truck battery and allows energy to flow to the camper batteries, and when the engine is turned off it separates the camper batteries so that the truck battery doesn't get run down.
Next will be to mount a door and seal up the area a bit, then start slowly prepping for the trip.
