You made some good progress! I have that same Battery on / off switch in my van lol. I use it to charge deep cycle battery in the back off my alternator.
Hey bud, this is great work! I don't mean to be negative at all, but there's an issue with your ventilation of the batteries, and I want you to be safe. The gas that the batteries off-gas is Hydrogen, which always rises because it's lighter than air. The vent output for the battery box has to be higher than the batteries to be effective. I found your video because I'm making my battery setup in my skoolie now, and I saw many other videos and blogs discuss how the gas from the batteries should be vented. Again, I think you did great work, but maybe revise the vent, for safety's sake. Roll on!
Thank you for the input Brian. I figured that when I drove the air would be pulled out of the box by the tires. I had those batteries in the van prior to building the box for 2 years exposed to the open also, didn't even know to build a box to protect them!

Lets take a flammable absorbent material and make a battery box. There is a reason battery boxes are plastic or steel.
There is a metal pan under it in the event of drainage, which those batteries are highly unlikely to have. No concerns from me.
I've never seen a lead-acid battery burst into flames. Only mistake is vent should be on top to exterior.
