Wow, the tradeoff is lower cabinet space vs. counter space for placement of the battery, etc.? The guy who made the decision to place the battery on the counter must not have a wife who rolls out pie dough in camp!
As I wrote earlier, we have a 2006 PV trailer. Our electrical system is inside the lower left cabinet, giving us only one half the cabinet to store things in. It's taken me a while, but I've figured out how to pack a Sierra Nevada beer box with kitchen staples for cooking & baking; it fits exactly in the half of the cabinet not occupied by the battery. I'm even more satisfied with this arrangement now that I understand the tradeoff... but they should really consider other options, perhaps placing the battery in the interior cupboard?
