Went and got 4 new AGM (gel type) 6V batteries. My friend got them and swears by them. 5 year warranty and no maintenance per say. Yes!
I think you will be happy with AGMs. I use them in a couple of applications, but have not yet put them in the motorhome. Maybe next time.
Not too be picky, but AGM and Gel cells are very different animals. They require different charging parameters. Gels will be damaged using the normally higher voltages used (ie 14.4 +/-) in the bulk charge for AGM and flooded wet cells.
Here is a link that explains the difference if you are interested: http://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/battery-basics.html#3
