Battery Upgrade Weight Concern
I have a 2014 Montana 3735MK and am upgrading from my single 12 volt battery (about 50#) that was provided "free" with the unit this past summer, to two Trojan T145 6 volt batteries that each weigh about 72# (total = 144#). I plan to place the new vented battery box in the same vicinity as the stock vented box (Forward compartment toward street side under Hydraulic leveler tank).
Should I be concerned about the weight increase in that forward compartment?
Do I need to strengthen or modify the metal floor somehow?
Thanks for any information.
