One of my concerns about a battery mounted in that place is - how are you going to maintain it's water level and periodically clean corrosion from it's terminals? And just as importantly - how are you going to ever remove it and lift another one up in there to replace it? Being mounted there almost dictates that it be an AGM battery so no servicing is required ... but AGM batteries are just as heavy at replacement time.
I wonder if this is similar to the setup that (Chevy?) used to mount this additional battery?:

See my previous post.
And to service the water, you would basically need to use a mirror to see the top of the battery. There is not enough head room to sit up under there and see the top of the battery. Hence the reason I haven't touched it in three years.... ha ha.
I'll have the Chevy dealship deal with it when I have the camper in on their hoist for my every now-and-then dealership oil change.
