Hi all,
Maybe a silly question but looking to fit a leisure battery, something Covkid posted made me think, rather than being restricted by under passenger seat space, was thinking about placing it in a cupboard, the obvious place on my autosleeper would be the cupboard behind the starter battery, my concern is having a battery in close proximity to the back of the fridge with the lit gas burner, any thoughts?

Re: Leisure battery
If you are at all worried pipe the battery vents to outside the van ( that's what the vents are for - unused by most installations so people forget that they are there).

That is exactly where mine has been for the last 6 years without any problem.
