Caravan & Camper Battery Charging Feedback

I have heard you should not have lead acid batteries inside a caravan as the fumes emitted from these batteries are dangerous..
Our van has 4 sealed lead acid batteries, 3 for the fridge and one for everything else.
Are sealed lead acid batteries okay, or should I enclose these and vent them to the outside.
I assume because they are sealed they are safe.

Pretty safe Brendan

If badly mistreated they can emit gases and have a pressure valve inside them and it can let gases out , but as I say only if mistreated.

It is wise though to ensure that the battery area can vent to outside the caravan.
