I have the same box. I cut a 3" hole in the back on each side and put louvered panels over them, like soffit vents but sturdier. I bolted a 3" dia pipe to the back to store my hitch bars...
My rig has a curved front, so the pipe takes up space normally wasted.
The Box. I welded Hasps to each side.

Mounting Bolts

Wing nuts inside the box on the bolts to make it easily removable so I can get to the brake system battery.

Mounted. The cable is for the LPG tanks.

How the batteries will go in. I chose to leave them in the boxes for extra insulation. There is a 2x4 frame that just sits in the bottom to hold them in place.
