Helllo Mex wanderer. First gotta tell ya we are jealous of you being in Mexico this time of year. I hope someday we can do some late spring travel there. We still work in the summer and it will have to wait.
Re the AGM's, I can't give you a long term assessment of our AGM's as we haven't had them long enough. What I can tell you is our East Penn 8A31's (2 in Parallel) have served us well. They seem to take a charge quicker from our 320 watt array. I was concerned about the new Batts ability to provide large amounts of current to the microwave. Seems to be fine. Our little Class B/C has a tiny battery box and it was almost impossible to check the water and tougher to fill them. I think they are over priced at almost 300 bucks per pop but working at a dealer I am able to get a fairly good price. We have a gopower converter with pendant charging them and they seem to be happy. The solar controller is an MPPT type.
Hope you find what your looking for. If you have the chance, tip a Mezcal back for us. We miss Oaxaca. :)
Que te vaya bien amigo.
