Buy as large capacity of type 24 as you can afford.
Some say 27's fit, they don't fit in my rv. 24's fit in my rv which should be the same battery box as your RV. If you 27's now, get 27's again. If you have 24's, 27's are a risk to fit.

You're somewhere between $170 and $1,700 in battery cost.
Any type 24 you buy will be equal or greater to what came from the factory/you have now.

You typed
'Getting installed'
Prompting me to think you won't be doing this yourself.
The professional installing them will know what to do.

Take PLENTY of pictures of the wiring right now. It can be a confusing re-wire to even a pro.

This is not a light chore.
It might require laying under the vehicle to undo the straps holding the batteries.
It's a tight fit if you're of bulbous build.

The batteries might have to slide in from underneath requiring you to lift them from beside you, then slide them up your belly to have them sit on your chest as you lift them up to their holder. There will be BIG wires you'll have to manipulate with one hand while moving the battery into position with the other.
The above doesn't even begin to equal setting the dirty batteries on your chest and then sliding them off of your ribs/belly to remove the dead ones.

Think twice....
