Battery box installed
Installed four 6v batteries this weekend after researching all the aspects and components on this forum. The only twist I added was prepping and painting the white battery box with bedliner material. I think it blends in well with the propane covers and the bedliner on the cap.

FIRST !! How do you balance two trailers on their nose?
I'm waiting for my battery tray from Outdoor, then ordering the box from Century Plastic. How do you hold the battery box and batteries?

I apologize for the sideways photos- I’ll try to fix it. I used a locking strap from Thule. The strap has a steel cable in it. The rack has slotted tabs for straps- I had to relocate the two rear tabs to get the box to fit right.

I have a 24RKS Timberridge and was wondering how can you tell if the trailer has the upgraded battery pan to place a bank of four 6-volts? Did some trailer models have it while others not? If I do need to order from the company, is there a contact and or part number for the pan?
Thanks, Brent

Looking at your tow vehicle the added tongue weight is not an issue.

Our 2019 Timber Ridge came with a two battery set up. It has a couple angle iron brackets between the frame rails behind the propane tanks. A 4 battery tray is a large flat tray with tabs to hold a Century box.
I just ordered my tray by calling ORV, speaking to Parts, and giving them my credit card number. It arrived a few days later surprisingly extremely well packed. The cost was about $78.00 plus shipping.
The tray has to be installed with self tapping screws (or some other way). The Century plastic box came from All Battery Sales and Service, Everett, WA--about $100.00 with shipping.
Lots of info on YouTube.
