Mixing AGM and Sealed Acid Batteries
We have a 2010 Jayco Seneca HD. The Chassis has two starting batteries and the House has 4 batteries. I am needing to replace all 6 batteries. I really want deep cycle AGM batteries for the House. ...

I think this is correct.
I just found this at the intelipower website:
NOTE: All battery chargers must be modified to work properly with true Gel Batteries. Gel Batteries prefer slightly lower voltages. If you plan to use your Inteli-Power with a Gel Battery, please contact us for details. AGM and all other types of lead acid batteries do not require this modification. Optima batteries are AGM batteries and work with these chargers with no modifications. If in doubt, please contact us for more information.

This though doesn't answer the question of can a bank consist of both flooded and AGM. The manual on my "smart" battery charger indicates the charger switches between charging modes based on battery voltage it senses. That leads me to believe that if the different batteries have different charge acceptance profiles it could lead to problems if they are mixed in the same bank being charged. Not sure if the intellipower does something like this, but I'll bet it probably does.
