battery upgrade / install questions

hello all,
getting ready to install some new LIFPo batteries in the trailer. currently they are on the tongue as most trailers. If you don't know, lithium batteries are temp sensitive. So they will be mounted inside under the bed, just behind the forward compartment. I know i need to extend or remove / replace the wires from the tongue to the new compartment. Going from the under bed location to the back of the trailer where the power center is located is the questions.

1) who has removed the underbelly of a newer trailer? I have 2020 passport 29rlwe.
how to remove it, and any challenges for installing wiring in there?

2) what type of connections are available to make the pass through from above floor to the under floor?

thx

I would leave the original junction box/wiring in place and just run new battery leads. Your coroplast may be nailed in place, grind off the head and you can punch the nail out. Use stainless self tapping screws when done.
