Chasis Battery Insulation

I was discussing fire suppression with a technician today and it was brought up that there is a potential problem with the chasis battery being mounted above/next to the muffler in our DSDP. I tried to search the forum to read the discussions this may have generated without success. Do I need to be concerned and if so, what is the solution. Thanks in advance.

Using the Newmar search link from this link I came up with this answer for you --- result.
Many do use extinguishers, its up to you.

Was this "technician" employed by Newmar or ???? What specifically did he say the potential problem was?

I'm guessing that Freightliner has been putting the batteries over the muffler for the last ten years or more. Apparently, it hasn't been an issue.
