AGM batteries & solar battery tender
Thinking about switching over to AGM batteries & know nothing about what I should know & do. I tried to do online research but have a hard time distinguishing between a sales pitch & an honest review/...

My coach has a switch to disconnect the coach battery. Would that be sufficient enough rather than manually unbolting the batteries?
Maybe, maybe not. To be 100% sure you can disconnect the battery terminal wire at the battery.
I suggest, if possible, you should visit your RV at least once per month while in storage to check on it. You can bring a volt meter and check the battery voltage to make sure they are holding a charge and not being drained. It is also recommended to run the generator once a month for 30 minutes to an hour under some load to keep it happy.
Personally, I hate dead batteries so much I added solar to each of my RVs (which makes boondocking a breeze also). If you are a DIYer it is not terribly hard and doesn't cost too much. Message me if you'd like details on an inexpensive solar install.
Good luck!
