Hi Semira,
Welcome to the forum.
Perhaps a few more details might help to get some information, eg layout, colour etc.
Perhaps the link below might be of use.

Regards,
Greg

The manual will cover several models also. My Avondale handbook covers 33 different models for that particular year.

Batteries are either in a external locker or under a seat inside the van. If it's under a seat fit it into a properly vented battery box.

On some older models it could be in the front gas locker, but they don't recommend having the battery and gas bottle in the same locker.
