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....
Yeah, I think it is safe to say this is an endemic problem. Too bad too, cause it is a nice RV otherwise. Look into AGM batteries.
Also, think about adding the compartment door to access the storage under the front dinette seat from the outside. The contributor Skipro3 documented the "how-to" for that.
