Where will the battery be located?

We’ve ordered a new Cougar 25mle with the 660 solar package. Where will they mount the 270 amp battery? If it’s mounted behind the LP tanks are there security issues with a $2500 battery.

I’ve seen locking battery boxes from the factory on new trailers with a LiPo4 battery.

Congratulations and welcome.

Battery(s) are located on the tongue between the front wall and propane tanks. There is nothing secure about it. Very few people opt for that level of solar package for a variety of reasons, so I don’t think Keystone does anything special unless you pay extra. I would simply remove the yellow SolarFlex sticker next to the door and no one will know what you have unless you tell them.

Alternatively, you can get a big custom locking steel box mounted on the tongue, what’s a few hundred dollars (and pounds on the tongue) more?

Lastly, you could rewire and relocate the batteries to a “more” secure location inside the camper (I don’t recommend a location inside the living area).

No mater what you do and how much you spend, if someone knows what you have and really wants them, they will find a way to get them.
