THE FIBERGLASS BATTERY CASE FOR THE RV'S (2) 6 VOLT BATTERIES AND (1) 12 VOLT BATTERY IS TOO THIN TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT AND ROAD VIBRATION CAUSING THE CASE TO CRACK AND A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR THE BATTERY(S) FALLING TO THE ROADWAY WHILE TRAVELING. MY PARTICULAR BATTERY CASE IS APPROXIMATELY 1/16TH OF AN INCH THICK. THE MIDDLE BATTERY WOULD HAVE FALLEN THROUGH HAD IT NOT WEDGED AGAINST THE BACK WALL AS IT FELL THROUGH THE BROKEN BATTERY COMPARTMENTED BOTTOM. I SPOKE TO NATIONAL RV IN PERRIS, CALIFORNIA. THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REP, BUT ARE NOT PROVIDING ANY RECOURSE TO THE OWNER. *NM
