I only have 1 group 24 battery and if I leave everything as is, I can probably fit a taller battery but no longer or wider. They really crammed everything in a tight space. I've guessing they were thinking most people would use this rv for resorts and places with power poles.
I was able to fit a Gr 27 battery in our trailer's battery box to replace the generic Gr 24 the trailer came with. If you install a better quality Trojan SCS 200 12V battery you will have 115AH capacity which is a significant increase from a generic Gr 24 battery. Our single battery works quite well for us when we dry camp for two weeks in the Smokies. We do daily charging with a generator and do not operate anything other than Fantastic vent fan (all night), lighting, water pump, frige and water heater. No inverter.
Unless your current battery has been well maintained you may have already given up additional capacity compared to a new generic battery.
