Old thread, but MTS Products makes the box, exterior vent and hose like in the photo. This particular one is commonly installed in FWs by the RV manufacturer. Readily available and I bought them from a local RV dealer. Usually white and I wanted a black vent which took a long time to get. The upper and lower halves of the box are the same and have a flange in them for the hose as does the exterior vent.
When researching battery boxes last year, I read that the exterior vent should be min. 6" above the top of the box. I used pass-through terminals to seal up better. Some googling will come up with some good venting design info. like this from BD Batteries.
