Whats your point? I don't have as much problem with batteries being inside the rig as I do them being in a compartment with a piece of equipment that clearly states don't put me in a battery compartment...
The point would be, as approved by the RVIA, that the battery boxes with top and bottom hoses attached are compartmentalized separate from everything else in the area. Another point would be that undoubtedly the setup works as approved by the RVIA or we would be hearing different. Another point would be that this setup has been in place for several years.
If the installer does not follow installation instructions and cut new holes or do not make sure the battery boxes are sealed correctly, that is a problem. The manufacturers provide careful instructions and warning stickers to the installers. As an end user that has been provided a notebook full of product information for the components and appliances installed in my TC, a portion of the responsibility rests on me to make sure that the systems are installed correctly.
I take nothing for granted.
