Going from two batteries to one

2016 25 FCRBT
If I switch from two batteries to one, would I just hook all the wires coming into the battery box to the one battery black to negative and red to positive? Would this be any issue until I take it out of storage next season

No problem, other than half the amp hours available.

Unless the switch is to lithium, in which case you could get the same or more Ah. It’s a good way to reduce tongue weight and increase payload capacity.

If the weight of one battery causes you TW issues... you have a case of WDA....(weight based anemia). Good solutions...proper loading and the 80% rule.

Thank you

Thanks for the help guys I switched to one battery because Both batteries went dead because of my neglect to keep them adequately charged while in storage, So we were going to take her for a trip to Branson, and I did not see the need for 2 batteries we are going to be full hookups anyway So I hooked up one and had some 12v issues with my vent hood and seelevel II, when hooked to shore power they did not work, but just on the battery they work fine. I just wanted to ask the question so now I guess my next check is the inverter? I appreciate your help sorry for the rambling and poor punctuation
