I'm at work, so feel free to laugh at this being in Paint. Has anyone seen/placed their batteries like this?
Maybe I'm overthinking this or maybe it's dumb for a reason I haven't realized yet. I've got 900ah worth of batteries going into the van that were just delivered. Traditional design says to put them against one of the walls. I'm not doing a large water tank on the other side though, which means that's almost 200lbs just firmly on the far left side of the van for example with nothing to balance it out on the other side.
Is it a huge deal, probably not, but my thought is that it could add up, especially since my layout also has the fridge, tire and rear tire carrier on the driver's side, as well as the extended fuel tank.
Is there any reason I couldn't/shouldn't locate the batteries behind a fixed wall below my bed, towards the center of the van between the wheel wells? I understand this would limit any type of access to the garage from the inside but I'm not particularly concerned about that.
I think the electrical components and would still be to one side for garage space and for easier access to fuses for example.
