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. ...

Ken,
Very few RV's converters charge the starter battery.
I added a trik-l-start to my class C.
The 9200 can have a 'wizard' added if you don't have one already.
The wizard allows you to set the unit to output 14.4, 13.6 or 13.2 volts.
Do you have a wizard?
14.4 is a good charge voltage for agm. 13.6 is a good float voltage for agm.
I chose to have all batteries the same when I was using flooded batteries. Since the starter batteries are maintained by the alternator and are isolated when the RV is not running you can mix flooded start batteries with agm house batteries.
It would not be best practise to have both flooded and agm in the house bank. It is possible with isolation switches--but I can see no reason to do so.
