Before we can install our new Lithium/AGM battery bank, we'll need to increase the size of our RV's battery tray just a little. Since we're not able to work on metal fabrication ourselves, we employ the services of a master welder to cut and widen our RVs battery tray. Andrey at DNA Custom Metal Fabrication in Mission, BC, Canada was the perfect person to handle the job.
While we're still a couple of weeks away from our Xantrex e-GEN lithium battery installation, we'd ready to upgrade our chassis batteries to a pair of Full Throttle AGM batteries, made by Fullriver.
This is Part Two of a multi-video series where we'll share the entire project with you. Stay tuned for updates as the mods progress!

Full-Time RVers since April, 2003, we share DIY (do it yourself) RV maintenance, repair, travel, upgrade and operational tips & tricks.
Many RVers are eager to learn more about using, maintaining and caring for their rigs. We hope our experience can help others go DIY, saving time & money, plus the satisfaction of a job well done.
We're handy RVers, not professional technicians. We're happy with the techniques and products we use, but be sure to confirm that all methods and materials you use are compatible with your equipment and abilities. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Any task you perform or product you purchase based on any information we provide is strictly at your own risk.
We sometimes receive products for evaluation at no cost, and The RVgeeks participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. But our opinions are our own, you won’t pay an extra penny, and we only link to products we personally use, love and can recommend to friends with complete confidence.
