<div>Rick, </div><div>an idea I touted ages ago was to wire the submarines batteries in to the house as a solar / wind power storage bank. </div><div>This might justify buying more expensive batteries.

If these were to touch the pod it would be an issue. I found things bounce around more than I would have guessed when trailering.
