Has anyone tried using a frame mounted battery box on their coach as a means of adding or relocating the batteries?

I'm thinking that the boxes used on the diesel Ford E-350 cube vans might make a suitable candidate, but I do not know if there is room on the outside of the rail to mount them with creating an eyesore or safety issue. I can't check on my coach because the frame is out from under it.

These are the boxes I'm thinking of:

And I have looked at frame photos and can't find anything that gives enough detail to say yeah or neah.
This is the best photo I found of the outside frame area:

I think that the box would likely hang a bit below the frame, but without dimensions of the box, it is hard to know how much below. Due to the width of the box, it may also conflict with the lower body panel, but again hard to tell as I have no dimensions to work with.

I also realize that servicing a battery mounted in one of these will be more difficult, as it will likely require lowering the entire box.

Thoughts, comments?
