I got AGMs for the truck camper we had because they had to be inside and no flooded fumes allowed. Moved them to the MH we got later, same thing --inside--plus got another AGM to add to the bank. (Now at 450AH of AGMs)
All inside where also --this is big!-- they stay warm in the winter so they don't lose tons of AH in the cold as when outside. Win-win!

So add to the "reasons" list:
A. no fumes
B. keep warm inside= no capacity loss in cold outside temps.
Unfortunately that does nothing to help with their bad AH per dollar cost. :(
