Any body have anything trick they have done? I was thinking of recessing it in the bed somewhere in the right rear corner.

Thanks

i ran mine in left rear of the bed. i didnt run it on the right side because 12 gallons of water was heavier then one battery. also i had to run a ground along with a hot to the engine bay, since my frame is shortened i wasnt getting good ground from the bed to engine. i put battery disconnect on roll pan.

So I assume by putting the battery in the back we are going to have to run a disconnect? I am trying to get as much weight moved to back as possible.
