If they need replaced be sure, for the house batteries, they are deep cycle rv batteries. If there's CCA, CA or MCA listed on the top they aren't deep cycle but rather cranking batteries for starting vehicles suitable for the chassis battery.
Apparently we do have halogen bulbs so good to know! Our house batteries failed within a year of purchasing the RV, so we replaced them with deep cycle. Regardless, this is good information!
