One thing to keep in mind:

RV converters come in all grades. Some of the cheaper ones are very hard on batteries. Unless you already have, research the converter that came with your RV and make sure it has the proper circuitry to totally care for your batteries as well as just keep them charged. The last RV we had (made by Thor) was equipped with a very cheap converter which if not replaced would have ruined the AGM batteries in a very short while. I'm not saying your batteries were not the problem. However it would be best to research the converter so the problem does recur. If you RV is wired like ours, the converter also charges the truck battery when on shore power and could ruin it also. Unfortunately I only know enough to be aware that this can be a problem, but not enough to tell you if your current converter could be the problem.

We are about to take our maiden camping trip in our new motorhome. It's just a few days' shakedown cruise. When I get back, I plan to do a thorough research and evaluation of the converter and batteries.
