I agree, it does not answer my underlying question of whether or not I can mix AGM with Sealed Acid Batteries. I was responding to whether there was a switch on the charger. It appears to be automatic. As I indicated earlier, I will need to check with Jayco to determine if the house charger charges the chassis batteries. Unless someone on this forum knows the answer.
Thanks

The simple answer is you want the house to be all the same batteries and you want true deep cycle batteries for that application (not marine).
For the starting batteries, you want regular starting batteries.
Go ahead and put AGMs in the house and and use flooded batteries for the chassis.
Another note on house batteries: Most flooded 12 volt batteries are not true deep cycle....they are a hybrid that works for starting and better than a starting battery for the house, but not well. In fact I have yet to see a true deep cycle flooded 12 volt battery. If you want to go true deep cycle, you need to go to 6 volt golf cart type batteries which are quite economical.
If you go AGM, the above statement does not apply. Lifeline makes real deep cycle 12 volt batteries. They make real deep cycle 12 volt batteries.
