I have worked with several type boxes for thing like this and one should plan for the final product before you select the box.
I know this is abit late for your project but the side mount truck tool box is an excellent box for storing batteries. This side area is also very excellent for adding box vents, battery bank switches, fuse blocks, terminal blocks, etc that you are going to need to really dress up your installation to good professional look.
I don't see much leeway in your new box to support many of these additional worthy ideas.
All of my electrical designs include the MARINE High quality components. I use the BLUE SEA products... Check them out...
When I run cables and control circuits to/from the battery boxes i like to use the PVC multi-outlet electrical junction boxes (LOWES). These are mounted directly to the battery boxes and then the center is drilled out to gain access to the box. Then cables can be installed back to the trailer using PVC flex conduit protecting all of the cables from the weather etc. I always like to come into the trailer to an inside wall right next to the tongue area and mount other battery system items, inverter, dc fuse panels etc on a panel. Hopefully you can come into the pass-thru storage area that is usually right next to the front tongue area.
Typical board installed on pass-thru storage vertical wall for mounting components
Using this planning all cables are protected from the weather, as well as all the access holes etc are protected from insects etc from entering the trailer.
