I've seen 2 golf cart batteries and a small red top starting battery packed in there. TBH I wasn't even sure if that was originally intended to be a battery compartment based on the location of the seacock. Why didn't C&C place the seacock under the sink? Or under the removable floor plate? Or make a new removable floor plate in the v-birth? I can't gripe about too much that C&C did but this definitely seems thoughtless.
