Dual Battery Set-up with Torklift Hidden Power Battery Mount and Solar Connection

Question

Question:

Thanks for answering my question so quickly. I think you missed the point of the question though, which is if there is room under my truck to mount two battery boxes for dual 6v batteries. Would they fit on one side of the frame or one on either side.

The TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box # TLA7727 has internal measurements of 14-1/2" L x 7-7/8" W x 9-3/4" T. This mount is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Ford F-350 with 8 foot bed.

It is possible to connect two 6V batteries to solar. You can either connect them in parallel to get 6V output or series to get 12V output. I've attached a photo of these options to assist. For your solar power, you can use the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997.

I reached out to my contact at Torklift and they said if you have the camper tie down mounted to the frame then only 1 battery box will fit on that side so you would need to mount the second box to the opposite side. If you don't have that tie-down they believe that two will fit without any issue on the same side.

Although the TorkLift HiddenPower Under-Vehicle Battery Mount with Battery Box #TLA7727 was originally designed for attaching to the frame of a truck you certainly could attach it to the frame of a trailer.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Answer 8

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Answer 10

With a 2022 F350 short bed, hitting the top of the bed rails should not be an issue with most campers. Turning clearance however, will certainly be a factor. That is one advantage of the Andersen Ultimate hitch #AM3200, as it provides a 9"…
