My I-Pad is still with me in Canada.  I read you loud and clear.

That’s funny . I was going to post something similar earlier today.
Well here is something ai am working on to help fill the voids.  I took my battery tray out the other day and found the need to redo the powdercoat.  Fortunately, the corrosion did not damage the tray.

The cold has put everyone into semi-hibernation. I am seriously not ready for winter. It's been over 4 years since we sat in a cold weather place for any length of time. When the cold rolled in, we rolled out. Major adjustment is needed. We are working on it... reluctantly.

As for battery tray, that probably needs to go on our list for our 2013. I hope to eventually get lithium batteries so they'll probably get a new tray to go with them.

Glad the forum is still functioning.
Gixxerkid3, thanks for the reminder to lube by battery slides?

New battery trays are about $130 from PC.  I just put a new one in our 2015.  The slides on the old one were starting to fall apart.  We usse two Lifeline 6v AGM batteries, about 75 lbs each so total about 150 lbs..  About 5 years on them and they are still going strong!

Not sure if this applies, maybe just FYI.....Our 2007 PC originally had two 12V batteries in a slide-out tray.  I had to ditch that battery tray to gain enough height to install two taller 6V AGM batteries.  I replaced the tray with a flat plate and sides made of lengths of "L" perforated steel.  Pictures are posted HERE.  Since the AGM batteries are sealed, there is no need for a slide-out tray.

Previously, I added a thick material rubber wall to protect the batteries from getting splashed from the rear tires.  Pictures are posted HERE.

I also made a splash shield for the propane tank on the left side, protecting it from the rear tires.  Pictures are posted HERE.
