Our C has an 8D size battery box (that can take two normal batts instead) inserted into where it goes under a dinette seat where the power centre/converter also is. That battery box has an outside door and is vented.
Below that is a compartment also with an outside door. I drilled holes in the battery box floor going down through the RV floor into the lower compartment where I can carry more batteries that are "outside". Wires go from "upper bank" to "lower bank". Needed three holes for balancing the bank to not have the upper bank be "upstream".
Later, I went AGM and now have an actual 250AH 8D AGM in the upper box and keep two 100AH AGMs inside nearby banked as 450AH. If I need more battery, I can still put some in the lower compartment.
