Fleetwood revolution coach batteries

We have a 2008 Fleetwood revolution. I asked my guy about adding water to the coach batteries and discovered, after owning for a year, that he had never added any. Upon looking, I find that those batteries are covered by a "shroud" and are located on what appears to be a tray that should slide out. But, it doesn't. and the shroud is pretty low. You can get your arm in to pry up the covers, but you cannot see into the cells. Does any one have any knowledge of this? I need answers before my guy decides I am more trouble than I am worth :)

I believe it you'll look into it, your coach came with AGM sealed batteries from the factory and would recommend going with an OEM replacement type, as I did, immediately after purchasing our coach last year. Expensive, I know, but worth it and especially if your batteries are located in the same compartment as your inverter/converter and other electrical equipment. I really didn't much care if it was vented and had a rubber seal around the area, as putting wet cell batteries and electrical equipment in the same compartment is a no no in my book.
If you insist on using wet cell batteries, look into a watering system, which is a series of tubes and allows one to fill all the batteries at once from a single tube. Still a PITA, IMO.
