I had to laugh - you said you got them from Randy...I remembered a Randy from Best that was vey helpful in the past!

Thanks for the info, I'll call him. His prices seem great as well.

We got our AGM's from Randy.
With AGM's...there is no reason to take them out.

Having said that, I am pretty sure I could easily fit GR 29's...I'll check this weekend-I'll be loading up again for spring skiing!

Bill - what brand AGM's did you go with? Prices seem to vary greatly.

I also have 2 - 27's and absolutely hate putting them in or taking them out. With our style of camping, I don't ever seem to be short of power.

Bill, your box must be bigger than mine. I need K-Y jelly to get my batteries in.

Tim, what year is your 850?

We have 2 Gr 27 AGM's that fit no problem. We already had these from our last TC so this is what we used. I have not measured, but it looked like I could fit larger no problem.

Any way, 2 Gr 27 give us plenty of juice for our needs...

2013. I was hoping to get 2 12volt AGM's to cut down on maintenance due to limited size.
