Default Dual batteries

Hey guys.

When i go camping i like to sleep inside my jeep. Last i went to king of the hammers race and it was like 30 degrees outside and i had to run my jeep and burn a quarter tank of gas to be able to sleep.

I would like to eliminate that and run a 2nd battery. The problem is i do not know where to locate it.
I currently sleep on the back seat but i want to start sleeping with the back seat down because its getting uncomfortable.
Any pictures or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen people convert the little "cubbyhole" behind the right rear wheel well in the trunk lol. Only good place I can think of :/

Guess last resort is to kill my whole washer bottle and add it under the hood.

Yup most people re locate the air box and run it there. you can also get a RHD battery tray and use that (meant to be placed on the drivers side)
