I set up twin batteries in the notcback I used to have, to power a 
monster stereo.  Worked great!

I am thinking about doing something like this in my 56, but with a twist.
The bus is 6V, and I wanna run a 12V deep cycle for the fridge and
any other stuff I decide to put in.  What would I have to do to get the
6V to charge the deep cycle?

I am assuming it _can_ be done.
