AGM's often have a lower amp-hour rating than a flooded jar of the same dimensions.
If you boondock, a case could be made for installing the largest AGM that will fit the space.
200 watts is enough to service about 300 amp-hours of battery bank. Under perfect solar conditions it may return about 90 to 100 amp-hours per day to the system.
Do an energy audit by plugging the rv into a kill-a-watt and plugging the kill-a-watt into a 15 amp shore power supply. Monitor use for a few days.
