storing propane canister under fifth-wheel

I store 2 1 lb propane tanks under the front of my fifth-wheel trailer. There are also 2 batteries under the same place, although the batteries are covered and vented to the outside. I have looked all over to place the tanks somewhere else, but where?

I fear the batteries will give out a spark and/or the propane tanks will leak. Thus giving them to explode, right under where we sleep. Any suggestions, or am I worried about some thing that won't happen.

You are worried about something that won't happen.

If you want to feel better about it, have a small fan added to move more air through the compartment. You could also put a divider in the compartment, or get an airtight box for the propane cylinders.

I've never heard of a battery sparking while in normal use. The sparks happen when being connected/disconnected or jumped.

Also do a leak-check on your propane cylinders if you are concerned they are in bad condition.
