If you have the time, you could make a custom wood box for the A frame area. Paint it black and put the door on the side. The bottom could be attached under the frame so you have the depth between the frame. Make the bottom extend past the frame a bit on each side then contour the sides to fit the space. If you do, I would use marine plywood. Just an idea.

How did you attach the wood to the bottom of the "A" frame?

I didn't. I installed the metal box on top of the frame. But yours wouldn't accommodate a box there from what I could tell from the pictures I found online of your model. If your batteries would still be in the metal frame (bearing the weight of the batteries), you could bolt the floor of the box to the underside of the frame, then attach the sides to the floor using aluminum angle from a big box store. You'd have to figure out what you want in the end and design something to make it work.

You might give consideration to weight distribution before adding weight to the front of your trailer. The attached link discusses my findings.
