In my experience, the Harris batteries were not well maintained from manufacturing to installation so you can count on about 8 depending on whatever else you use, or lights tv etc.
I think your right, most of the problem with the batteries is the way they were treated before they were installed in a coach and it was sold. I've been told they are stored in damp areas, allowed to completely discharge, charge up, discharge again and again, which is basically mistreating a battery, and insuring early failure.
