battery box

This is a question for the Canadians on the list.

Where did you buy your battery box? I am looking for something that vents to the outside. Most of these boxes have a vent tube that comes out the side or top and goes out the side of the trailer.

I have found a a few American sources, but they all want $50+ to ship them. I checked Canadian Tire's website, as well as a couple of marine part retailers. No luck.

Most of the RV shops buy their stock from Coast, and Coast doesn't carry them.

I could put the box on the tongue, but I need to be very careful to keep my tongue weight down. There are sites to manufacture your own from a basic walmart box. Although this may work, I question if this plastic will hold up in a battery leak situation.

Box source anyone?

Here is one box that will work. It wont fit two 6V but it is the right concept.

Sadly again, its a $50 shipping fee. Since its shipped ups, the total cost to get it to me will probably be near $100

Vented Battery Box Large White - $26.99
