Like most class-C motorhomes, my 2017 E450 came with one battery mounted under the entry step. I've already added a second battery, end-to-end with the first one. Now, I'm thinking of adding two more behind the first two, but that is going to require some additional brackets.
My local welding shop is a little apprehensive about welding anything directly to the frame. They seem to think that either Ford or DOT discourages that practice. But, I can't find anything to support that.
I've read in other threads that I should take certain precautions like disconnecting all battery cables, and clamping the welder ground as near to the work as possible. Is there anything else that I need to worry about? Should we disconnect any transmission cables?
