Wow Mike, I could have written that first post & comments of yours myself ! Exactly the same experience ! I just took delivery of my own 2014 Lance 855s and decided to pop open the batteries to check the water level. I was just as stunned as you were to see the sloppy holes in the battery box tops, and the impossible access to the batteries. It took me 2 hours to get access to the batteries & add water. And by the way, they did indeed need water. Every cell was low. The battery cable wiring was that stiff crap, including loose terminal lug crimps. Wow I feel like we must have bought from the same dealer....
