I got them to put 2 6 volt batteries in it from the dealer, but I wanted to add 2 more and an inverter. I bought 2 more Interstate 6 volts and a Xantrex HF1800 Inverter/Charger. I also removed the stock converter and the crappy DC fuse panel. I replaced it with a Blue Sea fuse panel. I mounted the batteries in an atv box I found in scratch dent on Amazon. I found a thick rubber mat at Tractor Supply and cut that into pieces to line the box and space the batteries. I used weatherproof DC Circuit Breakers for the DC going to the inverter as well as the DC going to the fuse panel. (200amp and 100 amp) For AC wiring I used 10/3 cord to run from the back of the trailer to the front basement and back. Probably 40' total. I ran 4 gauge for the DC panel and 0 gauge for the inverter.

Here are some pics
