With the change to two 6V house batteries and the chassis battery, (three in the compartment), my battery hold downs no longer fit.
Was wondering what others have done with the battery compartment under the step, to keep these from moving.
 
I had a similar issue.  I went to the hardware store and picked up a tool belt for each battery.  On Amazon it's: CLC 3505 ToolWorks Web Work Belt, 2" Wide, Large.
They've only been on for 3 months and (roughly) a thousand miles.  But, so far I haven't had any problems or noticed any wear.  I just check them each time I inspect the batteries.

Hopefully that helps!

I also just used blocks. If they are able to hop out of a 4" well box, I have way bigger problems to deal with

I made the original hold downs longer with some all-thread rod and threaded connectors.

I did same with our Winnebago years past.

I agree. I just changed my batteries too and couldn't get them out of the box. My son had to get them out for me. I just don't see mine going anywhere.
