With the two T105's you have 115 AH usable at 50%. I had 4 t105's in the previous MH and they served me well. But now I have moved to a Class C with only two batteries and am running two 12 volt deep cycle and they are doing well also. If I replace as these are well used but still doing good I will go to the Interstate 160 AH 12 volts which will be 320 AH so at 50% I have 160 AH. Now with all that said with the two battery system balanced to the usage in the smaller MH this should be as good or better that the larger MH with the 4 T105's.
We dry camp a week to 10 days then to a hookup for a week then back to dry camping and the Gen time for the two verses the four is comparable.

Previous owner used RV and Marine batteries with a 95AH rating. I have had the coach for a year and have noticed the steady decline of power. Actually even with the low AH on these batteries they performed to my needs. Getting better batteries with longer AH rating will be a treat. This past week I was parked for 5 days at a race track in Utah and the batteries failed. Very little use and ample time with the Gen running . Checked with hydrometer and one battery has a dead cell, other battery has 2 weak cells yet the built in observation button is green indicating the battery is still ok. Nope. I want to do this and be done with it. It's not a problem checking the batteries and it is part of my routine pre flight
maintenance ritual. Coach is on ground power when stored at my home.
