Under the step house battery compartment
Our 2013 Thor Chateau's house battery compartment is located under the steps. There is a place for 2 batteries. We currently have 2 group 27's there. They suffice for right now, but I like to think ah...

I installed two extra batteries in my RV, and used some unistrut to help with the weight. I have a steel sidewall, with 1-1/2? square tubing. I ran the unistrut under the compartment, bolted it directly to the sidewall with 3/8" bolt and washers. Then on the RV frame side, I used some 3/8" all thread, and a L bracket that is bolted to the frame.
The unistrut is good for several hundred pounds. You might be able to buy it in 2' lengths at Home Depot. I bought it at a electrical distributor in 10' lengths. You can special order 20' long too. I used the 20' long for my patio cover sun screen. It looked like basic awning material, but let through about 20% of the sunshine.
