Relocation of house battery...Two electrical questions

[DavidGraves]

Hello,

For assorted reasons I want to relocate my house battery to the drivers side truck bed chamber ahead of the turnbuckle.

I need to route battery leads outside of camper to my electrical compartment, in this case, in the bench trough of my Grandby shell model.

1-Any suggestion for a durable two wire connector plug set ?

2-Can I route a fused set of wires directly from house battery to my chest refer located inside camper.
( will the battery isolator between truck and house battery care?)

Many thanks

David,

I use anderson powerpole connectors. They come in various sizes and configurations depending on the wire size and current carrying needs.

Originals and knock offs are available on Amazon as well as ebay. I stick with the branded stuff.

I used the Anderson SB50. I like the environmental protection boots you can get for them.

Thanks Both

Now for round two...next question:

2-IF I route a fused set of wires directly from house battery to my chest refer located inside camper.
( will the battery separator between truck and house battery care?)

I don't hink it matters but what battery separator are you using?

Fuses are OK, but I prefer the 285 series breakers because I can turn them on and off at will. These for between the batteries.

Then I'd put in a fuse panel leaving some room for expansion.
