Mike,

You don't say if your chassis is a Ford or Workhorse but probably doesn't matter if your batteries are mounted under the entry stair as in many Winnebago Class A gas chassis. There is a lot of wiggle room so I would get the largest battery with the most CCA you can get within reason.

Anything the same size or smaller than a group 27 battery should fit without any problems since that is what I was able to get into the tray for the house batteries. As you can see the Group 27's dwarf the Chassis battery which is rated at 795 CCA. I don't know the group size of the chassis battery I purchased. The original chassis battery was rated around 690 CCA so I thought that was a reasonable upgrade. I should have gone bigger!
