I also have 2 group 24 batteries in my 10.4 with room for larger ones if desired. One thing I noted with the 10.4 is that most of the appliances are on the passenger side. I noticed there is room at the front left of the basement, accessed by a factory cutout on the outside wall, large enough for several batteries. Moving the batteries to this location would shift these heavy items to the driver side and forward to boot. They would need to be AGM batteries though as there would be no air venting and you also wouldn't be able to access the batteries to add water when the camper is on the truck. I don't know if the new Lithium batteries require venting or service. I was mulling over how to do this when HMS Beagle put up a post where he did just this. If you wanted you could have a huge battery bank with batteries in both locations. HMS Beagle's BF 10.4 basement battery mod.
