Battery Holder and Vent Hose in 3455SA

Not sure if this is applicable to all newer Montanas but, I'm sure it would be.

I want to double or even quadruple the battery storage in our rig. I know what wiring would be needed but have come up against a practical roadblock (I'm a newbie).

The front compartment where the battery is stored has a single container for a 12v battery and a matching fitted lid with a tube that vents outside. What would I have to do to put in a second battery and still maintain that venting and, even more, what about 4 batteries? Is the venting required? Can I just wire in additional batteries and not worry about the venting bt just have to worry about how I'm goiing to keep 2 (or 4) batteries in place?

Suggestions/advice welcome!

Paul

p.s. Are generators and/or inverters also stored in that front compartment if needed? I've heard of people just using the geneator in the back of a truck and hooking to the RV. Not really sure what the best way to go would be.
