The 200ah bank that came with the Axis may tide me over. If not, I'll probably opt for Agm.
Regardless, the battery tray is very small and not likely to accommodate an upgrade. There's a lot of wasted space under the coach, so I'd look at welding a custom box.

I agree cost is still high but it's getting closer. When I factor 80% capacity usage versus 50%, and also many times the number of cycles, the cost over 1000s of cycles is competitive.
My problem with justifying the cost is that I wouldn't likely use more than 20 to 50 cycles a year, so the initial investment wouldn't pay back based on added cycle life. If we were on road constantly, the economics would make more sense for us.
