My guesses:
* Putting lead acid batteries anywhere near the axles and having them accessible (meaning near the tires) probably requires some pretty heavy shielding to protect them in the event of a blow-out.
* Where you mount the batteries - you need to keep the other major electrical (high load) components nearby, big copper cable runs aren't cheap.
* A slide for 2 x Group 24 batteries, so they are serviceable, ain't cheap...
* Slides are often in the "middle" of the RV, so you need to build around these things.
I don't see why you couldn't argue to put them in the rear of the RV however... Short of charge distance, that might make more sense for getting weight off the nose.
