I just want to comment that my 2015 Vegas went in to my RV technician's garage today for battery replacement. My house batteries will no longer charge or hold a charge. So I managed to get 6 years out of those original Harris batteries.
Guess that's not too bad.

Yes, you are one of the few who had an original sales dealer that stayed on top of keeping the house batteries in tip-top shape.
When I purchased my rig as “new” in 2018, the dealer had already changed out the OEM Harris to Interstate Deep Cycle.
Unfortunately, my dealer must have swapped in used batteries. So within 3 months they could no longer keep a charge.
It was easiest for me to purchase 2 of same from Costco as we were on a long trip (and I was not willing to stand in line for several days at an out of state dealership).
But my Costco Interstate’s lasted 3 years, then a cell went bad so I recently swapped out for new Duracell FLA’s.
Knock on wood...I still have the original & reliable Motorcraft battery on my 2016 Ford built chassis.
