GC2 Battery box for travel trailer?
Posted: May 28th, 2020, 11:54 am
I was able to pick up a couple of new, never used Crown 6v golf cart batteries from a friend that decided to go Lithium instead. Ordered a Camco dual battery box for the GC2s. Went to install this afternoon. I didn’t even think to measure, so of course, The new box at 7 5/8” is about 1/4” too wide to fit between the existing angle iron brackets. I searched online, but can’t find either a single or dual box that is narrow enough that can still accommodate the height of the GC2. The original G24 box is the perfect width, but height is too low for the 6v.
I really don’t want to cut/modify the existing brackets. I thought about adding a metal tray on top of brackets or a board between but then I have a clearance issue with the front cap and can’t get the battery box cover off easily for battery maintenance checks. Anyone know of a battery box that will accommodate a GC2 and the 7 3/8” bracket width on the tongue?
Alternatively, we could just upgrade to the Solitude.
