Too much tongue weight for my two 6V golf cart batteries, so I boxed and vented them in the galley. Put a clear acrylic cover so I can see them and so border security won't wonder what's hidden.

AGM batteries are sealed -they don't need to be vented.. They are a bit more expensive but do not vent, and I think you can install them on their side if need be. You might search AGM batteries on this site.

The other option is a marine battery, inside, but vented to the outside. It's not infrequently done that way. They make battery boxes just for that issue I think.

Yup, if you put it inside, build a box sealed to the inside and vented to the outside.

I have a tear with galley. My battery is in the galley at the floorboard. Sealed to the sleeping compartment, vented out through the galley.


Mine too
