Remote Vented Battery Boxes for group 31 Batteries
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?

I have those type battery boxes with the snorkel vent. I used a sniffer and those boxes don't vent with a darn. So I put a fan on the vent and that did the trick. I found a tiny fan that fit inside the tube part. I have two battery boxes. One box connects to the other. Each has a vent. The fan pulls air from the first box, connected to the second box which draws in fresh air. My fan has been running for well over a year now, 24/7. I have solar on the camper, so no worries about power draw.
Here's a link to the fan I used. I ground down the corners to make it a circle that fits inside the tube.

Thanks, I have also been considering simply using a hole saw to cut a couple of vent holes in the side of the camper and the battery compartments in the dinette, line them using those white plastic battery boxes I've seen, and vent them that way.
Putting little lower power fans on those vent openings wouldn't be a bad idea.
One hole for exhaust with a power fan, one without a fan for intake, two wholes for each battery.
