* Under the hood: This is the most common location for the chassis battery in most vehicles, including the base Chevrolet Express van.
* Under the driver or passenger seat: Conversion vans often have additional batteries for the house systems (lights, appliances, etc.) located under the seats. This would be separate from the chassis battery.
* In a compartment in the van: Jayco might have placed a battery (either chassis or house) in a dedicated compartment somewhere in the van's interior or exterior. This is less common but possible.
* In the rear: Less likely, but some conversion van setups might locate the house battery in the rear storage area.
To find it, I recommend:
1. Check under the hood first. This is the most logical place to start.
2. Consult your owner's manual: If you have the original owner's manual for the van, it should specify the battery location(s).
3. Look for obvious battery boxes: Inspect the areas mentioned above (under seats, in compartments) for battery boxes or terminals.
4. Follow any wiring: If you can locate wires coming from the alternator or a battery cut-off switch, tracing those wires may lead to the battery.
Because it's a conversion van, there's no single definitive answer without physically inspecting the vehicle.
