Hydrogen is lighter than air so the vents in the bottom of a locker aren't much use.

The battery locker I was referring to (from a caravan breakers) is the type which would involve cutting a hole in the side of the 'van & completely re-siting the battery. Not a massive job, but not a small job either.

If it were mine, I would be tempted to just wedge the locker open an inch or two when connected to EHU or when the gas is connected to ensure adequate ventilation. It's been like that 20+ years without blowing up, the chances are it's not about to blow up now, but it is worth taking a bit of care with.

It's not difficult to move the battery inside and mount it in a locker with a box like the one linked to, with a few holes in the floor for ventilation. I would actually be more concerned with moving the 240v stuff. You can get quite a spark from the breakers when they trip, again, not difficult to do, you could just extend the cables and put it in one of the internal lockers, the 240 volt electrical stuff doesn't need to be vented.

Hi, As i replied in an earlier post my 2009 bailey senator has one fitted as standard from the factory and as no other bailey owners have commented i presume mine is either a one off or somebody at bailey decided to ignore any regulations and fit one anyway.

Hope you get the answer to your query.
