Any way to put those batteries on the tongue? Even if it was done with the extra 2' for the storage box option, eliminate the storage box and the length will not be longer. I would give up the storage box option to put the batteries up front to gain the pantry/micro-wave space inside. Then the pantry can be floor to ceiling with the micro-wave in the middle of the pantry, and the tall fridge can be put in place where the short fridge is and still keep the upper cabinet above the fridge. I would not want to have thousands of dollars worth of lithium batteries sitting on the tongue of the trailer.

I realize that the door has a key on it, but given how expensive these batteries are, couldn't that lock be defeated by someone who wanted to steal the batteries. I would hope that no one has had that happen, but think of all the catalytic converter thefts that have been occuring, and those are small change compared to these batteries. 1 John and Debbie, Beaverton, Oregon, 2017 Ford Expedition EL 4x4 3.5 liter Ecoboost, with heavy duty tow package.
