Ok guys I just bought a 1986 27 ft Winnebago at the end of october and have been trying to figure out where they have the auxilary batteries hide. I know there is at least one in it but it's bad. If I start the engine or generator and let it charge a little the lights will work but go dim right away. I've checked all the storage areas but haven't found any. I live in Pa. and it's cold out there right now so I don't want to crawl under it to look. Would like to replace it but since I can't find it don't know how big it or the area it's in is. Any ideas where they would hide them?

check also by the passenger seat well area if not under the stair entry in the coach. Also look for power line from generator that will lead to the coach battery.
