Looking for comments from anyone who has added 2 more Group 27 batteries to the factory installed 2 Group 27's under the steps.

The brochure for our coach states the under the steps battery tray can hold four Group 27 batteries. It comes from the factory with two Group 27 AGM's and I was considering adding two more AGM's bringing the total to four. Looking at the battery tray it would seem a difficult task adding two more batteries. There are a number of cables and two circuit breakers inside that tray. The only way for batteries to go in or out is thru the opening under the top step. I looked under the coach and there does not appear to be an opening large enough for a battery to go in or out. We are guessing that the two existing batteries would have to be pushed back in the tray to make room for two more at the front. Then the cables for the two additional batteries would have to be added. Just looking at the situation we do not get a positive feeling about this. We were wondering if anyone else had done this and how it went.
