What are these holes?

Curious what these holes are on the bartery compartment (2021 Tab 400).  Perhaps ventilation for non-sealed batteries?  The bottom one has a screen mesh but the one on the wall is just a void..

    I believe those are the two vent holes for the battery compartment.  You should also see a vent cover on the outside wall and under the trailer.  The current batteries do not need venting but they are there in case an owner replaces the batteries with those that need to be vented.

    I agree with @bergger .  I think vent holes are some sort of DOT requirement irrespective of whether your batteries are sealed or not.

    Correct, as the battery compartment is in a living space.  This is a safety issure requirement, nüCamp implemented during the 2018 TaB 400 build.
