I can offer no help with the battery compartment, but congrats on the new camper. BF are super nice units!

Fantastic build, still on of my favorites.

That sushi looks awesome. Also, great truck and trip details.

I saw one for sale locally (Westy however) that had a Ford Ztech motor installed on the VM trans. It was a super clean setup... and was a 2.3L I think? WAY more power than OE, and it fit pretty nicely in there. Not sure if there are any options like that for an older Bus?
