I have a 326SRX toyhauler that is maybe configured different than the larger ones discussed. The batteries are in the forward compartment between the gear legs. The trailer came with one Group 24 and no battery box or tiedown arrangement. I asked them to secure the battery and they provided a box secured to the floor of the compartment.
When I began to boondock more it was obvious that the 24 wasn't up to the task, LED's or not, so I upgraded to two, 6V, GC batts in a NOCO box. Since the compartment is vented to the outside, I just secured the single box to the metal floor of the compartment and set both batts in the secured box with the screw-on, attached and vented lid covering the batts.
The batt(s) need to be secured in some manner. Gravity itself isn't enough when the roadway is less than perfect at 60 MPH. You may not need a box, but if the batts leak acid, harm will come to wherever they are located unless they are enclosed in a box.
