You bring up great points, since the corrosion is prevalent on hydraulic pump, it had to explode or have very strong acid vapors within that compartment. They may have already replaced the batteries (DEC 2017 no telling what was there before if truly replaced?), so I can't see anything odd by looking at the top of the batteries. I do know that while the batteries appear to work okay, the salesman was quick to get it plugged up to shore power.
This was not the only major issue as the full side slide would only extend/retract about 3 inches if it moved at all. However the manual override worked each time. The dealer did not know about the manual override, as I learned that on this site
At one point the controller on the slide gave error of too much current on motor 1.
