Hi davesid

If you use the search tool you'll find threads about your question - some people have had custom boxes built and welded on to the frame, and some have added sealed batteries into the inside of the trailer.

My 16' CCD also only has one battery, which isn't enough for dry camping very long, or even overnight in cool weather if I need the furnace. Since I wanted to keep my trailer in original condition, I just take a second battery along in the back of the truck when dry camping - I can either switch them when needed, or hook them together with some battery jumper cables (I removed the spring clamps and crimped on some ring terminals) with the second battery sitting in its battery box under the A frame.

A side benefit of this is that I don't have to have the extra weight on trips where I go to a campground with hookups - total weight is probably more of an issue with my 16' than for your 25'
