Battery: AGM vs. Flooded Cell
Our 5er, 2016 Continental Coach, currently has 4 6v Interstate “Maximum” Deep Cycle Batteries. I am planning to replace them, and am considering the GC2 Trojan T-105 w T-2 Technology (flooded cell), a...

Make sure your battery charging system(s) can handle AGMs. Slightly different charging voltages compared to flooded lead acid.
I wish that people that recommend twin 6V Golf Cart batteries would also caution that the buyer should make sure their charging system will be compatible.
AGMs do just fine with 14.4V chargers. Isn't it common for GC batteries to require 14.8V? And what about the GC equalization charge that can need over 15V?
Never heard of any special requirement for charging voltage of two flooded 6V batteries vs one flooded 12V battery. *
Every good battery charger has a special setting/switch for AGM.
(* The exception to my statement on flooded battery charging are Trojan batteries. For flood batteries, regardless if they are 6V or 12V, their recommended charging voltage per cell is slightly higher (2.47V/cell) than other manufacturers.)
