Since I tend to like some creature comforts while camping, such as lights and fans I decided to hook up an auxillary battery. I picked up a cheap deep cycle trolling motor battery at WalMart for about $30.00. The quick-connectors I used are from a computer battery backup. I also used insulated post hookups that are made for a trolling motor. At some point I will probably hook this battery up through an isolater that will allow it to charge while the vehicle is running. For now I just throw it on my battery charger for a few hours before heading out for the weekend. In this view you can also see the expanding plugs that I put in the rear heater outlets for when I am storing stuff under the seat in the summer. |
