I’m looking to convert my 2007 Silverado Classic into a retirement road trip vehicle. My plan is to install a dual battery system under the hood and run power under the cab and into the bed. Then, I’d like to install a power converter in the bed and run everything off of it – LED lights, vent van, table lamp, charging for phone and laptop, etc. I’d appreciate any ideas, photographs, videos, etc. about how to best get the battery cables into the bed. I assume drilling is required so am interested in best locations, as well as methods to ensure the holes I drill don’t rust and are water-tight. I know that some folks place their deep cell battery in the bed rather than the engine compartment but I really want to avoid battery off-gassing in my living space. Thanks, in advance, for your help.
