Way to many "options" and "opinions" when it comes to batteries.
Ok ... I'll play for a minute more... lol ...

Comparing new AGM to bad FLAs they replaced is a poor reference!

Certainly not cost effective for a pavement pounding RV. Splitting hairs about the delta performance, capacity, charge differences between AGM and FLA seems a bit silly for those that occasionally off-grid camp. I can only guess people are compelled for some reason to justify the luxury spend in ways other than not wanting to add water?

AGM batteries are Lead Acid! ... I think you meant FLA or Flooded Lead Acid. Obviously there are positive & negative characteristics, this is a long topic opinionated widely in forums. Understanding, long term experience and Context is everything...

This ^^^ is great information That step sucks for fitting battery options.
