I actually had 2, T-105's written down once upon a time, way back when I first started doing research on what I wanted in our 3400 (last Aug?). Where's the best place to get these? I think that I need covers with vents, too. I may have an old link somewhere, I know this was a lengthy thread last fall/winter somewhere...

I thought last fall they were ~$100, I thought. Hopefully they have come down. Also, I could check with my dealer - he may give me a good price before I pick up our 3400.
It certainly depends on your camping style, some people don't need a battery for anything other than operating the trailer brakes, other people spend weeks on BLM land with no services. We are somewhere in the middle. As for a source for Trojan batteries, we bought ours at Continental Battery in Harlingen, TX. I think they have branches across the south. Otherwise, check the Trojan battery website.

The padre and I both use Blue Sea brand battery boxes, I bought mine on E-Bay for about $70. In addition I installed a Blue Sea switch and have purchased the "Smart Charger" option for the Iota brand converter that is in our trailer. I also have a pulse charger (from Camping World) for use during long term storage.

As mentioned previously, this is a well worn topic, a search should provide a lot more details.
