Dennis,

Good on ya for doing this. The Peace Vans version looked like a good solution for many.

I have to say though, even as I have an 200 Ahr northstar agm where the stock spare goes, that lithium type batteries will, are, changing things. Add the dc dc converter to control the hungry lithium acceptance etc, and you have a much smaller battery to contain. 

That area to store the battery is much more suitable for a smaller dimensioned unit. But that said, with old chemistry batteries it’s a good choice… keeping weight in the middle of van and low down.
