DIY BATTERY VENTILATION - Truck Camper Build Part 29
I would recomend against anyone venting a battery like this. what you have done by venting into your propane compartment is allowed a potential propane leake into the camper any time your fan is not running. since you have it hooked up to only run when you are pluged in and the batteries are charging any other time propane can travel into your camper, especialy if you are using an interior fan which would put your camper into a negitive perssure.

Hell, I was thinking even more simply, you just created a direct route for ignition since both batteries and propane tanks both off gas, nevermind leaking into the living space.
The fact that the batteries are not separate from the charger also gives an ignition route, which is traditionally why the batteries are fully cut off from the rest of the camper in the same fashion the propane tank is.
