6 volt flooded golf cart batteries. To do this I have to move the battery bank to the front cargo area or the area under the queen bed at the front of the Rig (preferred).
Do I need to have a sealed vented battery box or do I just need to vent the compartments where the batteries will be located?
to meet the standards it has to be seald from the interior space and vented. under a bed I would follow this, but some don't.
when I converted to GC batteries in my trailer I just welded a new frame to hold them onto the tounge out of 2x2 angle which I bolted the plastic battery boxes to. This would hold 4 six volt batteries and spaced it just a little farther ahead so the hight would clear the front of the trailer.
as previously stated, LiFePO4 batteries would be a exelent option for you, if you can build them yourself you can do it relitivly cheep, I think I am projecting 400 bucks for my new 320Ah build. thats one battery probably the same size but lighter than one of your 12V batteries but has 320 usable AH.
