Everstart 24DC
Is it a true deep cycle or a dual purpose? I can't find the RC or ah rating online. I hope it's 85ah or more? How does it compare to Crown or Interstate group 24 batteries?

Treat this battery right, and it will treat you right.....and give you good service. I don't buy expensive batteries either, but yet I get top notch service from them.
24DC is rated deep cycle trolling. This is not really a starting battery even though it has a MCA rating of 690. 24DC will work fine in your RV although it is not a large battery with high capacity compared to a 27DC or 29DC.
OK maybe a little less capacity compared to Crown and may not live as long but it will come at a lower price. Charging, usage and maintenance will have more effect on service than brand IMO.
What do you really expect from this battery?
