For reference, I bought a pair of 6V AGM batteries a few months ago from Sam's Club. I recall they were $180 per battery.
CLICK HERE to get to the Sam's Club webpage. Prices are posted when you specify your local Sam's Club.
I have received comments from other RVers that these are real good batteries, made from a very good AGM supplier for Duracell.....whatever that means.

Geeez thanks for confusing me more. That is A LOT cheaper than either the Interstate or the Excide, although I will have to join Sam's Club. Arrrrgh. I really want to go Interstate which has worked well for me but other lower prices are really making this decision difficult.
PS: My last motorhome was a rear bed Dynamax Carri Go. It is a twin of the Phonex. I had it for ten years and really enjoyed it. The Proven Tiger I have now is 4WD, on an F350, with super high ground clearance, and on a F350 footprint, making parking turning and backing very nice (I will be adding a photo to my signature as soon as I figure out how). But, I do miss the room. I love your outside paint and your interior is spectacular. Mine was a bit simpler but basically the same. How the heck do your get that thing in your garage. You must have a custom garage or, let the air out of your tires to get it in there.
About batteries, the Sam's Club Duracell might be made by the same company you prefer. Do a little research, or ask that question independently on the forum. People here know these things.
I started a thread
HERE about 6V versus 12V which had me spinning from all the data. In the end I took a leap of faith and went with a pair of 6V Duracell AGMs. I have yet to take an extended trip without shore power to verify I made a good decision.
About your previous rig, a Carri-Go. Back in the day, I really wanted a make a Carri-Go work but it's too tall a/c unit had me stalled. When I later learned of the newer lower profile PC-2350, I was redirected there. Comparing early 2000 model years, the two brands appear to be made by the same company. The Carri-Go and Phoenix Cruiser 2350 do seem to be cousins. I too wonder if they have a common past.
Because of finishing trim on my garage door, the true opening is 9'-11.25" tall. Our PC with empty tanks and full tire pressure does clear the opening by what appears to be 1.5". The low profile a/c unit helped to make it work.
