I had 2 6v on my old FW and want to have them on my new one, too. We =do= dry camp, probably 1/3 to 1/2 the time, so having true deep cycle batteries is necessary, even if we give up some amp hours. Problem I'm running in to is that where the batteries are mounted is in a narrow area, with some constrictions, and need to have separate boxes. Otherwise, I'd get a dual, tandem mount (inline, not side x side), boxes.
What size hole saw did you use?

When I bought my 5er, I knew I was going to add more batteries, so I asked the seller to get me 3 more of the "factory" boxes ... they ordered them from Keystone and I picked them up from my dealer. I patched in a PVC pipe to the original single battery vent and vented them all inline and out the forward bulkhead vent.
Sure, that works if all you want is a bunch of Gp24 batteries. Boxes are =way= too short for GC2's.

I 'think' what you mean, is boxes with a vent attachment point. I did not find such a thing either, and I do not consider it important. Neither did my dealer that installed the box. Ran it that way for a few years, and finally got around to attaching the vent hose.
The box I use is a NOCO HM-426. Drilled my own hole in the top with a holesaw. Screwed the spiral flex hose into the hole. Works fine, no corrosion in my compartment. But there wasn't before either. This is my forward compartment, and it is far from sealed to begin with.
For the OP, you probably don't really need dual batteries if you don't dry camp. If you go with dual 6v, there are these kind of issues that need to be considered.

I got mine on Amazon;

They are vented. Look at the photos of the top lid and see the slots.
