Chassis Battery Install

Howdy all.....

I will be changing my chassis battery Monday or Tuesday - weather here in the Heartland is suppose to be great.

I have an Optima Yellow Top I am going to install. It comes with "adapters" to hold the battery in place.

Anyone have experience installing a Yellow Top and like to share their story? I haven't delved into the instructions yet - it comes with 3 adapters - I know one is for Ford chassises.

Thanks....

I would check all connections and replace ground straps or cables if they show corrosion or look like they have been overtightened, I added a frame ground to mine that I couldn't seem to find.
It seems that my RV previous owner liked doing things as cheap as possible. I don't like spending money, but try to do it right when I can.
Found several overly tight worn out battery clamps ended up replacing 2 of the ground cables and 1 link cable.
