I am with DQDick that it doesn't matter what RIVA says they only suggest code for the industry and are not an enforcement agency. We own our coaches and can do what we want within limits.


Likewise I will agree that our battery compartments are not airtight to begin with and as such should have more than enough venting.


Finally if you are opening up a compartment to flip a switch, I expect that will vent any gas buildup to the point it is below explosive limit real quick. I wouldn't put an open flame directly in the compartment trying to make the gas explode but really can't see the concern under normal operations.
