Battery Straps

[StoneyG]

We have the batteries mounted under the pass thru bay floor with room for more and I'm noticing that the batteries are shifting, maybe bouncing in their tray. Is this a potential problem? Has anyone fashioned or bought straps to hold them down?

My batteries are located in a compartment next to the basement, however the straps should still work. FYI mine came with the straps.

Sorry picture loaded sideways.

Yes, it can become a big problem when not the straps hold the batteries but the cables. This can result in broken battery posts and lose or broken cable ends, better make sure everything is strapped down tight. You can easily secure the batteries using tie down straps.

Thanks. I found some that looked pretty good on Amazon and ordered them. Maybe I'll send the bill to Forest River.

You will out of luck when you send the bill to FR, it's almost always the dealer who installs the batteries.

Then I'm out of luck. Ancira would give me nothing.
