ATF: Bighorn - Generator Prep....Battery....??

I have a 2013 Heartland Bighorn Model: BH 3855 FL
It has the generator prep.
1.) What else is needed to install a new Onan 5500...??
2.) Has one battery but a spot for another battery. If I install the second battery what does it connect to..??
Thanks

Your best bet is going to be a review of an installation manual for the 5500. Here's a link to a couple of related manuals for this gen.

For sure:
- Generator
- LP plumbing (black pipe T and flexible hose to feed gen)

An additional battery should not be required but is always nice to have if you boon dock a bit or plan to install an inverter too.

You'll find an electrical box in the gen cabinet or to the right of it. That's where the gen output will wire in. That box is then connected to the transfer switch that is already in your gen-prepped coach. You'll plug into the gen, the start/control plug that is present in the gen cabinet.
