I am thinking about buying a blue top marine deep cycle for a extra battery for the Truck Camper and also use it in the boat when I am not camping. Anyone have good luck with this battery?

We've had a two of them in our trailer that have been trouble free for 11 years, if they fail they will be replaced with the same thing.

Old Days, when battery shopping don't forget to comparison that battery you are looking in Optima to any brand name in a AGM style battery. They get a lot of money for that name brand just because they did a great job selling back in the day.

Good luck,

Nothing first hand but I was at the battery store yesterday. They said they used to be good until they started making them in Mexico.

FWIW I walked out with a Trojan 31 AGM. My old Trojan 31 acid is going in the boat!!
