    M109A3 Camper Fresh water tank Locations?

    I have thought about this long and hard . My take on hold tanks on a M109 are to get 2 made at a local fab shop and put them behind the mud flaps at the rear of the truck so you can still work on the rears without a problem of having a tank in the way

    Fed up with batteries

    Just be aware that if you do the pos master switch .That it is possible to have power on some things .It is better to have it on the neg side of the battery . just ask anyone that races a dirt car or drag races this is the only way theywill allow the batteries to be hooked up
