Which ever size you choose, make sure it is a TRUE deep discharge battery. Not a starting battery and not a "dual purpose" battery.

What we DO do is leave the RV plugged in all the time with AC on low, which fries the GC batteries.
First, see if your converter/charger has a setting for AGM. Likely is does NOT ! Disconnect your converter and connect the DC power distribution panel directly to the house battery bank.
Buy a GOOD battery charger that has an AGM setting. Near where your original converter charger is, install a 120VAC outlet. Buy a cheap MECHANICAL lamp timer. Set it to run for about 1-2 hours per day. Plug that into the new outlet and plug your new charger into that.
When you go on the road, just plug the charger into the other open outlet !

Are there direct replacement size wise for GC batteries?
Yes, they make GC2 AGN batteries.
