Just a bit of advice. Gel-cells require a charger designed for them. Charging at too high a rate will destroy them.
12 volt deep cycle batteries are available everywhere. Not to be confused with the hybrid "deep cycle/starting battery", which you do not want.
AMEN, on our last MH I replaced the house battery with a gel. It charged at a different rate than what was specd for the charger. Ended up causing a host of problems one of which was destroying my chassis battery since the ALT tries to equalize charge over both and over charged it. Very costly mistake. Battery warehouse swore that was the best to get, apparently they no nothing of RV charging systems.
