Recommended Battery Box for Three 6 Volt Batteries on Tongue of Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

Hello-I have purchased 3 - 6 volt batteries for my travel trailer. I would like to mount them on the tongue of the trailer. The dimensions of the batteries are 9.5w x 7.3d x 11h. My existing 2 - 12 volt battery boxes sit in a 8inch x 23inch tray. Can you suggest a storage box? Thank you.

For your three 6 volt batteries on your travel trailer to mount on the tongue, I recommend the Buyers Products Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 3371701680. This box is 36W x 19D x 18 inches tall. It has a double-walled lid to keep the weather out. I've attached a video to assist.
