Depends on how much space you have and the shape . Will they be mounted side to side or end to end ? Most of the off the shelf boxes when I was looking are bulky and didn't work for me . I wound up making my own from SS that I found at the dump , pure luck . If that hadn't happened I was going to use ABS sheet , it's pretty easy to work with ABS cement .
Each battery will be in its own compartment, making up the two seat boxes of the dinette. I have to find them again, but I did see some basic rectangular white plastic boxes that had lids that were a nice snug fit, unlike the standard trailer battery boxes where they protrude a ways.

I seem to be running into a bit of a snag trying to find remote vented battery boxes that will fit a group 31 SCS 225 Trojan Deep Cycle battery.
Does anyone know of any off hand?
Joe, try West marine or you can buy the one I have holds 2 grp 31's side by side.
The best Battery box has 2 outside vents one at the bottom and one at the top. That is the safest design.
Aye, however, I never understood exactly how those worked, given the battery completely covers the bottom vents on all of the main RV models.
My fifth wheel had that design before I modified a large marine dual golf cart box (I hole sawed a hole in the top and attached the vent assembly from the original box).
