Group 24 batteries measure about 10.25" L x 6.8" W x 8.9" H. The Camco 55372 inside dimensions are sized for that footprint, with a little clearance for the lid and cable routing. So your Group 24 battery will fit perfectly.
Choose a Mounting Location
Most RVs/campers mount the battery box on the tongue/frame near the propane tanks or on a frame rail.
Pick a spot that’s flat, ventilated, and away from sharp edges or moving parts.
Prepare the Surface
If mounting on metal: clean off rust, dirt, or paint where the box will sit.
If mounting on wood decking: ensure the wood is solid and not rotted.
Position the Battery Box
Place the battery inside the box to check clearance and lid fit.
Mark the mounting holes for the hold-down strap brackets.
Drill Mounting Holes
Drill pilot holes where you marked.
Use bolts with washers and lock nuts for maximum strength.
If drilling through the camper floor/frame, apply sealant to prevent water intrusion
Secure the Box
Attach the box base firmly to the camper.
Install the nylon strap hold-down system that comes with the 55372.
Tighten until the box doesn’t move, but don’t over-tighten (you don’t want to crush the plastic).
Install Battery & Wiring
Place the battery in the box.
Route positive (red) and negative (black) cables through the knockout ports on the box.
Connect to your camper’s wiring (or use quick-disconnects if you want to remove easily).
Double-check polarity before tightening.
Final Safety Check
Make sure the lid closes fully and the strap is locked.
Verify cables don’t rub against sharp edges (use grommets if needed).
Shake test: The box should not move when you push or pull.
