Battery Location

I have a few concerns about the battery in our 1971 Tradewind:
There is a Battery door which goes to under the rear bed area, and above it there is a small vent with a vent hose attached to it. That's it. No Battery box or containment or hold down of any kind.
I would like to know what all is missing, or if anyone has modified this setup to hold 2 Batteries.
I have looked at marine type battery boxes, but they are not sealed, just basically a battery container with a lid. What about fumes and /or acid etc.??
I was thinking of perhaps relocating the batteries to the area behind the propane bottles, for safety and convenience.
I am open to suggestions and any information is appreciated.
