That's a great idea.
I have a few questions:

Where did you find the batteries?
brand?
How much did you pay for it?

Thanks.

I did this in my van, but it is not a westy so you this may not work for
you.  I used 2 6 volt dee cycle sealed jell cell batteries.  I used this
type because they fit perfetly under my seat and they do not vent into the
cabin.  I did have to remove the seat to install them but they are great and
I have 220 amp hours for all my accessories.
