Two Battery hook up
Hello! I rarely post, but here goes.
I had always had one battery with my TT.
However, this year, I want to boondock more than I usually do.
I want to buy two batteries, but not sure how to harness together.
Anyone have a link to photo description? (I understand better if I can see how it’s done.)
Will I need just the harness for two batteries or will I need to install new wiring leading into my TT?
I use a portable solar panel when dry docking which works great!
Thank you in advance.
Michele

Buy 2 - 6 volt batteries and wire them in series
OR buy 2 - 12 volt batteries and wire in parallel.

I have one 12v right now, but it’s five years old, so I have decided to buy two new ones

Do a Amazon search for "12v battery cable"... they should have them at a local auto supply store also (Make sure the guage is higher than what goes into the rig...

Buy 2 Golf cart 6V battys and one short jumper as shown. Sam's Club and Cosco have very good prices on these. Both have them in Flooded as well as AGM if desired.

Thanks for the catch! Speed reading is my downfall.
