I'm currently considering a 2014 or 2015 25FB or 27FB and will need to lighten the tongue weight a little due to payload limitation with my TV and the potential to add a ProPride hitch at about 250lbs of additional tongue weight.
I understand the consequences of reducing tongue weight below 10% and won't be approaching that lower limit so I'm not looking for advice or cautionary notes on that topic.
I would however like some advice, photos etc on what is involved in relocating batteries to the rear of the TT in the storage under the dinette. I understand that I will need sealed batteries. I think the easiest method would be to run a positive wire from the battery box positive terminal/wire to the rear. I assume the Airstream is grounded to the frame like a vehicle? if so do I locate a ground point at the rear also or do I need to run a negative wire to the back to the battery box negative terminal/wire also?
As far as cable routing from front to back goes, I assume I rout this inside the cabin down the side via the bathroom then cross to the other side of the trailer using the raceway between the axles then along to the front? Any photo's or examples of anything similar, where to access the cabinets to complete the pull etc?
Are there any other easier options to complete the battery move and wiring ? I thought maybe running a protected conduit run under the bottom of the trailer and then up at the rear would be a way to go but would prefer the wiring inside to limit the potential for damage.
Thanks.
