Hi All,

Well "Sammy" successfully completed a 400 mile camping trip. After sitting
for 10 years with maybe 500 miles on a rebuilt diesel engine. We serviced
the engine and put in new brake cylinders and clutch cylinders. She ran like
a charm (except for my shifting errors, and you can't blame her for that.)
On the trip I picked up a battery isolator for a second battery behind the
seat, The starting battery is in the engine compartment even though the book
shows it under the rear seat? I was wondering the best way to get the #8 +
wire all the way up to the box behind the front passenger seat. I assume the
lug in the box is made to ground the battery. The box appears smaller than a
regular battery, What batteries do you guys recommend for a house battery in
a Westy.  Thanks for all the help!
