I agree about the flooded batteries. My tractor batteries are over 5 years old and only died because i left the lights on for a week and killed the batteries beyond holding a charge for more than a day. I suspect one plate is shorted bringing the entire system down from leaving the lights on and the battery sulfating
My MH has very large batteries that are flooded and I have never added water in 3 years. I just checked last month and they were all fine. they are Group 8D . They are 21x11x10. big suckers which last a long time when running only on batteries. Will they fit into your area you will have to determine that.
