You do know of course that AGM batteries can be shipped to your home after finding the lowest cost source on the Net ... no need to drive anywhere.
How does that help if you need one on the road?
These are RVs... If and when something is needed, odds are you won't be home.
Availability IS an important factor for RV parts....
Good point ... from a full-timer's or long-termer's viewpoint.
We're only part-time RV'ers - our longest trip to date has only been 11 weeks. We are able to make sure our battery system is up to snuff before we leave on each trip, so we have no need to purchase more batteries enroute. Besides, when using two or more 12 volt batteries one of them will statistically always be good enough so as to be able to complete a trip with at least one usable 12 volt battery left in the battery bank.
