On new installations/designs AGM offer more location options, but on an existing motorhome originally designed for flooded, I’m not sure AGM add as much value.
Also, did Costco batteries fail due to being “cheapo”, or possibly something else? How long did original last? The motorhome isn’t that old to have gone through two sets of batteries unless original batteries were damaged before delivery.

Not sure about the original batteries. The current ones are 14 months old. I’ll ASSume that the previous owner never checked their levels because the wiring was zip tied and I had to remove ties and move cabling just to get the caps off.
He also kept it plugged in so he probably never worried about checking.
I don’t know...
