We went with AGM so we didn't have to worry about adding water or anything else.

That is a very interesting option which I had not thought about....THANKS for the suggestion.
I did some more searching around and found this also:

I'll have to crawl under my RV and see if there is a convenient place for something like this. The one drawback I see is access....seems like it would be a tremendous hassle anytime the battery needed to be checked/maintained/etc. If I was able to mount such a bracket, I'm not entirely sure how I'd be able to lift the battery up into it.

The torklift solution looks like it costs over $200. Would be nice to find a less expensive solution.
This looked like a good solution (I like all the mounting holes), but it isn't big enough for a Group 29 battery: $48

Has anyone seen something similar that will fit a Group 29 battery? (Group 29 battery is 13" long by 6.75" deep by 8.5" tall). This is really the style I'd like to find.
I googled for a bit and found this: $89

Looks like it could work, but would require drilling several mounting holes through the back plate. Should be doable.
Gonna keep looking though...
