If installing the batteries inside the van, be sure to use deep cycle AIRCRAFT type batteries. They are sealed and will not emit dangerous fumes. You can also have a welding shop build a below the floor box. I know PJ Body shop in Canton Ohio has fabricated this kind of set up.

I have developed a habit I will share.Maybe it will work for you. Any time a card comes out of my wallet,my wallet remains in my hand untill that card goes back in that wallet. There are often a lot of distractions that go on at that fuel desk.
