A rather curt, if not rude, reply.

On my 2017 year 718 model, I didn't like the thought of any battery under the seat, so built a box on the garage on N/S fitted 2 batteries and trickle feed to vehicle battery then fitted controller and inverter next to batteries, or I should say my Electrician did it.
PS. Battery vents went through floor

Ive got the 620 on a ford base..
I fitted two batteries under the passanger seat...
And the securing plate on the original single battery was modified to secure the two batteries..

Hi what is the code size for battery

Our supplying dealer fitted an extra 110ah battery alongside the original under the passenger seat last year for our new Chausson 627GA with no issues.

Edit Ford also

I’m looking at my Chausson 630 Ford 2019 to fit 2 x gel batteries. Space is 350 x 350 so tight but could get in 2 batteries but won’t be able to get plastic boxes in.
What do you think I should do just put 1 in ?

Wiring seems a bit of a mess wondered whether I should get in auto electrician ?

Good move Gels are far safer and you don't need vent tubes, I would never fit wet batteries under a seat. Wiring does look a bit of a mess but as long as it's safe it should be OK. I would change those dodgy looking battery terminals for some decent ones.
