So what do you have for a battery box? I'm about to buy these to replace my single 12V DC/Starting battery. Looking for a single box that will fit both batteries in my 5er... (Will probably wind up using 2 single battery boxes from what I can see to this point.) Thanks!

I have a white plastic moulded batt box that resides beneath the dinette seat...It was designed with a pull out tray and to fit two 12v batts. I had to remove the tray to fit two slightly taller 6v GC's, so added an automatic watering set-up from CW that solves the problem... Actually, at only 1/4" taller than the GC's it looks the beefier batts might even fit, yet realistically with 440w of solar and a few years of experience (including full timing) I don't really need the extra amps, In fact I've even switched from Interstate 232 GC's to Costco 208 GC's for $85 bucks a peace and have nothing but good to say about them...Since they are so inexpensive I plan to routinely R&R them say after about 4 yrs just for good measure...
