Westfalia installed the auxiliary battery under my drivers set as part of the conversion of my '87 Wolfsburg Edition Camper. I replaced the original group 41 battery in 2001 with yellow top Optima mounted on its side, terminals facing front. It still works fine with the stock relay setup.

  If you've installed an aux battery in your vanagon I'd like to know where
(driver's ped/passenger's ped/other) you did so and the whys/why nots.

The driver's seems the best electrically but the passenger's seems the best
accessibility-wise. I suppose it's low maintenance, so electrically wins
out?

Thanks!
