I too installed 4- 12 volt, 22 amp hour battery's in my westy as well. I have a 1500 watt inverter and can run my electric blanket for up to 6 or 7 hours. I love it. I also installed a digital LED battery gage. it gives me piece of mind and lets me know when the battery's are fully recharged. If anyone would like Pics and all the details of what I used and where I got all the parts please e-mail me and I will share. I also got a kick ass multi battery isolator. I also plugged a cord going from my inverter to the outlet under the cabinet that the fridge plugs into and now when I turn on my inverter it powers all the outlets inside the van (there is alot of detail required to what I did), Hit me up and I will gladly share.......

Bob, Can you put up some photos of the battery installation?
Pieces to trim, etc.
Where did you buy the batteries, any wiring tips?
Guages, lengths, etc.
Have seen Karl's web site, but more info always welcome.
Thanks Thomas

I'm installing the UB12220 Universal 12V 22ah batteries (4) in the aux
box under the driver seat. I prep for this I removed the steel flange
from inside the box that holds the bolt that secures the battery. I
used a carbon cutting disc on my Dremel to cut most way through the
flange, then used pliers to leverage it off the rest of the way.
Very surprised at how the Dremel cut through this thick steel (1/8"?)
as long as I went slowly, not asking the Dremel to be an industrial
cutting tool. I'm going to also use this to cut out notches on the
aluminum angle metal to connect the battery terminals (as seen on Karl
Mullendore's Westyventures.com site).
