Hi All.

Just bought myself a sued camper and have replaced the dead leisure battery with a new Hankook battery. There is no vent in the wardrobe area where the battery is fitted so need to drill a hole in the floor for a vent tube.

Now this battery had 2 red plugs that said they were transport plugs that needed to be removed but actually presuming they are vents. Now my question is do I need to fit vent tubes to both or can I replug 1 hole and use a vent tube in the other as I am guessing they are actually linked holes.

Any advise would be great thanks.

Don't be shy, give it a try.

If the battery has vent holes then you need to vent to atmosphere with a length of PVC tube.
It is common for the vent cavity to be connected but not always.
Adding 2 vent tubes is not an issue.
Best practice would be to buy a sealed battery box and vent the box to atmosphere.
