NICE FACTORY WIRING JOB. Good thing i didn't pay MSRP for my trailer now did i HAVE to use SkyHigh 2/0 wiring? nahh. I think 4ga would have been fine. But 2/0 is so gorgeous and i have a lot of it. So i used it It is a long run to the front of the F150 so i decided 1/0 would be best. Especially if i end up running the RV off of the alternator at some point which i will at times. I didn't have any red Sky High 1/0 so i used XS Power OFC. I really wanted it to match but i think it still looks good anyway. These 1/0 Anderson plugs are EXPENSIVE. Remind me not to use them in too many projects. Damn! This is like a $45 dollar union here! fuck all that!

we have crime here too. I am not scared of my batteries getting stolen if i "go down south"..same for east or north. LOL. ain't nobody taking shit. I would LOVE to watch them try to get this stuff. Just an FYI: my trailer will almost never be out of my site....certainly not long enough to get robbed of 2 group 31 batteries that weigh as much as a teenager and would take someone 30 minutes just to figure out how to get them out. The thief would probably stare at the 2/0 in awe for another 20 minutes. Not worried. LMAO anyhow, thanks though!

I have been wanting one of these for YEARS! I have never had anything better than a tent from the local sporting goods store so this is a MAJOR upgrade for us! I would have gotten one sooner but i was concerned with whether or not i could get my RZR into it. I do NOT want to pull a camper with one truck and pull the RZR with another vehicle when we can just take one truck. Anyhow, i am planning on going to the sand dunes soon with some friends, as well as taking the family to Pismo beach in July. So i decided to start looking into what it would take to get my "toy" into it. Prices seem reasonable and i found a great deal today. I went and looked at it and within 5 minutes i knew i wanted it. The wife is crazy excited about this and was egging me on to get it. Can't say no to permission from the wife! that holds a lot of value Long story shorter, we got a 26' 2015 PACIFIC COACHWORKS RAGEN 26FBX TOY HAULER. It has everything! fully loaded! It doesn't have all of the options listed below (the special add-ons) but it has a lot of them including the 40 gallon Fuel tank! Why does a TRAILER need a 40 gallon fuel tank? thats easy! to feed my RZR and my new Generator! Yes it comes with a gas pump! I think i am in heaven! on to the pics. keep in mind, the entire back opens up so the RZR can get in. Everything folds out of the way or in the case of the bunk beds in the rear, they are on actuators and raise up to the ceiling.

I know it looked easy but damn it was more work than i anticipated. Came out good though i think 2015 RAGE'N X TOY HAULER CAMPER SOUND SYSTEM & MODS - NEW BATTERY BANK - UGLY WIRE FIX (VIDEO 1) https://youtu.be/XH-P7hrCSXg

i dunno...ill let you know in about 5 or 10 years. lol. Did you see what WAS there? it will be fine.

Four of the Five Winning Sets have been sent out, Swordlordboy1234 when you get a chance hit us up with the shipping details. Enjoy your winnings guys.

You aren't kidding with the price of those disconnects. We run those almost exclusively for our hydraulic set-ups....they are pricey, but from what we have experienced with cheaper ones arcing worth the price for piece of mind. Nice set-up!

WOOOOOO! Thank you so much! Ill put them to good use!

bad ass, tuned in!!!

oh...Why did i choose XS Power XP3000? because i had 3 extra's laying around after i re-did my AD-1 Test bench. Free is always good! even though i already bought them it still feels free because it's been a few years Oh, and yes, i plan on someday making a cover of some sort. No rush, this thing won't see anything but wind and very minimal rain. Water won't hurt these batteries anyway other than the labels. But yes, i do want to fab a cover of some sort. next mission, running the wire for the F150! Then decide on amps, speakers etc!

Ahhh now they fit like a glove! No falling through! Time to make some tabs for the hold down's. Always do a coat of black to keep rust off. Didn't have room for the bottom pieces of these XS Power hold-downs...but no problem! I made it work! Their wiring, MY wiring (the replacement). I replaced all their ugly wires and or the end terminals that i could see. This is a "before" and an "after". Using Sky High 4ga.

well i was going to start an entire new thread but i sort of already had one in another section of this forum. I decided this one isn't too cluttered to continue on and use this for any mods i do. I will do a UBL post if it gets hectic and i do a lot more. Right now, i just did my first real mod. Took out the standard group 24 battery and SHITTY factory wiring, replaced them with something worthy. For the most part, the generator will be doing most of the work. I really only wanted extra reserve capacity simply because i have a few items that need to be on all the time and not get cut off when the generator goes down. For instance, if i shut the generator off to go for a ride. When i do so, all outlets die too. That means my microwave clock always flashes 12:00. That means my satellite dish needs to be re-initialized again (a 15 minute process) before we got TV again. Iphones etc. Anyhow, i will probably add a separate power inverter (and install it permanently) in the trailer so i can achieve my goal. Also, I noticed that the factory battery was getting the worlds SHITTIEST charge, if any at all from the trailer plug. I was under the impression the battery would get alternator power and stay fresh on a long trip to the camp site. I was wrong. It is WEAK sauce. So i got some 1/0 Anderson connectors and also hooked them into the bank. I plan to run a wire from the F150's Alternator (will be upgraded soon too) to the back of the truck where it will plug in and get me that solid 14.6v i am looking for. I am running 1/0 cable because it is a long run and i know once i upgrade the alternator, it will be taking on some of the responsibility for the sound system and electronics i plan on installing soon. So that's the plan. Here are the pics. BTW somethin'.....being able to park this in my shop is a dream come true!! It is safe from UV rays, Thieves and extra storage fee's. I also just obtained the worlds BESTEST new shop break room haha...I am plugged into the wall and it is a full on chill spot in it's down time. The factory battery is smaller but with it's case it fits in the factory battery rack perfectly. The XP3000's though BARELY spanned the gap. So i welded in a new piece of angle iron to make a new tray. The wiring is terrible. The only ugly wire on this battery that i had anything to do with is the one small wire with yellow crimp terminal. That was ALWAYS temporary because i knew i was going to redo all this stuff. I did that literally while i was packing for my camping trip. It is nice now, as is the rest of the shitty factory wiring. NICE! Propane tanks removed so i can get to the rack a lot easier Lets modify the new rack a little bit. It's welded in 3 places (left right and center) I have that on video just no pics.

Thanks guys and thanks Second Skin, I appreciate you for this offer. Will definitely put these to use and see how they work. Cant wait to finally use some of your products, Second Skin FTW!!!

Awesome vid. man, thanks for sharing!

paid it off almost 2 years ago...hence the reason i could get a new truck and toy hauler Back in debt again, but i am a bill payin' mothafucka so it is ok. Hope to pay it off early if i can. Put a fat down payment down to ease the pain some.

ISF Must be paid off. LOL.

Rule of thumb: If you have the wire, ground to your front battery. If you do not, then you are fine to do multiple *good* grounds in the rear.
