Relocating the battery charger help
Last summer I replaced my WFCO charger for a Powermax Boondocker PM4B-75 MBA. At the same time, I replaced the single group 24 battery with (2) 6v gf (from Batteries plus) so I have 230AH which I can...

If you are using 6V GC2 batteries, they love a charge voltage of 14.8V or higher. Lesser voltages will eventually result in a loss of capacity. Equalization is also a good thing to put into a battery maintenance schedule.
Not to complicate issues for the OP who's understanding of this subject is clearly limited BUT correct charging profile is a bit more complicated than this, particularly when we're talking AGMs rather than flooded. Some manufacturers insist on temperature compensated charging for their AGM series, some don't want to see their AGMs equalized at all, so while these ideas have been debated endlessly here on the forums it's simplistic say charge 'em all @ 14.8 volts and equalize 'em all. If the OP wants a couple of GC-2s he'd frankly be just as well off with a couple of flooded versions he can buy at the cheapest price as they'll be the most tolerant of improper charging and not horribly expensive to eventually replace.
Good luck with your battery charging!
I'd bet LUCK applies to most RVrs when it comes to properly maintaining their deep cycle batteries. :W
