Welcome aboard!
Don't have your model so I can't help there. I'm sure someone will be able to help on your specific model.

Batteries are in the compartment directly behind the rear tires. Two chassis batteries (sealed) and four deep cycle batteries.

Hint: a battery watering system can make it much easier to maintain batteries by filling all the batteries at once to the correct level, and eliminate trying to reach the caps on those inboard batteries and see the level and know when to stop adding water.

Google "battery watering systems for RV". I have a FlowRite Pro-Fill system but there are several on the market.

When replacement time comes, consider AGM house (and chassis) batteries. The two FLA house batteries that were OEM on our Class C both had to be removed from their battery tray to check/fill the water levels in one of the pair. Had I kept using FLA house batteries as replacements I would have looked into getting a fluid management system such as that posted above.
