I'm not familiar with that model, but your handbook should tell you the capacity of the leisure battery and you can measure the space
where it goes.

I assume that it is wired for a leisure battery with split charger and EHU. If not, you'll have additional work to do.

Look at the Smallmotorhomes website which secialises in Romahome and
other small campers.

Just noticed an error in my dimensions.
Battery box is 280mm long not 200mm.
As for make I don't know without taking it out. It came with the van when I bought it.
It's a 75ahr as anything bigger won't fit in the box.

something bigger might fit or it might be useful to change the battery box and put a 120A battery in as it will last a lot longer than a 75A battery.
