Armando you seem to really dislike Optima, well i agree with you they ARE expensive, but we Optima users are not idiots, we buy them partially becouse they can fit under the westy's driver seat(battery mounted on its side) Its nice to save space and to still be able to rotate the westy's seat withyout banging into the batterys top-posts.....try THAT with your walmart $45 special....it wont work, the posts are just too tall. Its a nice clean out of the way install....see for yourself: http://vgonman.com/auxbat.htm Phil 84' Westy w/ Tiico
