Anybody know where I can find an interior battery box as in the Avion and maybe some other models?
Adding two batteries to accomidate solar panels and inverter.
Thanks, Robert McMahan

You can make a box, and use a hole saw, and port it for fresh air. I was going to do that.

Try West Marine. Should have one that would hold 2 6V batteries. Be sure a vent it to the outside of the coach. Avon vented, via hose to underneath license plate (hidden from view).
JimB has my old Avon, perhaps the battery box is still in it. It has become a parts coach, sadly.
