I wanted to mount my battery cuttoff like yours, but didnt have the tools to make a hole that big and not sure what to use anyway. the steel box i have is very hard to cut. What did you use to make the hole? |

This is what i came up with to remount the battery box after having to move it because of the WDH. no room to spare. I think i got really lucky that this actually worked out. I remember looking at the others that have done this mod and didn't consider how tight all this is. The only problem is that i have to remove the tank cover to get to the latch for the battery box. Not a big deal since the only thing in there is batteries and no room for anything else anyway. I used 1.25" tubing and my nutsert tool to mount to the frame and then used 1/4" stainless bolts to mount it all up. I also had to reposition the safety brake by just turning it 90 deg to the inside, which isn't ideal, but should still work in case it ever happens. Now i am ready to try the e2 on a trip this weekend i hope. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

a few more pics I managed to get the battery boxes inside the box, just no lids. i used a 2.6 cu ft box and i think that most are 2.75cf. If you want to use the box for storage, get the bigger box for sure. I actually found a use for the worthless sewer hose holder-floormat storage.

Texman, I used a regular hole saw going slow with oil, took awhile but worked. You could drill a small 3/8" hole and then use a jigsaw because the hole doesn't need to be perfect Since the square plate on the switch covers the holes edges. I put a good bead of silicone on the back of the plate before I screwed it on. ![]() |

added the 3500# jack. Wish all mods were that easy and beneficial. it is a stromberg-carlson from etrailer.
![]() i think i have maxed the available room on the a frame. propane cover is very tight. ![]() trying to figure out if one post is enough for the table mod and if i want to mount to the floor or mount to plywood base instead. ![]() ![]() |

I am opting for two posts since I will be reusing the existing table top. Since it is rectangular, I am opting for more support so it won't wobble and spill things. I plan on putting the floor mounts directly on the floor. If I think it isn't sturdy enough, then I will use anchors to attach to the floor.
My order is projected to arrive tomorrow. |
