Motorcycles and JetSkis use cranking batteries while RV house batteries are true deep cycle batteries. There are perhaps better choices than Odyssey for the RV.
For RV use, favor the battery that gives more AH/lb.
Odyssey Grp 34 68AH 53lb - 68/53 = 1.28.
Better:
Deka 8a24M 79AH, 53lb - 79/53 = 1.49.
Lifeline is even better.
If you compare CCA, you will find that Odyssey has more CCA/lb and would be a better choice for starting.
