Would you sleep with an AGM battery under your bed?

Thinking about just breaking the bank and getting a pair of AGM golf cart batteries to put under the bed of our 19 foot KZ Sportsmen classic. Three reasons. 1, No room on the tongue. Propane tank takes up most of the exposed area of a very small space. Current battery sits almost under the tank. 2, Quicker recovery time for recharge with generator. 3, I can move them further back closer to the axle to help distribute the extra weight. Thoughts and opinions welcome.Thanks.

I don't see a problem. People sleep over, gasoline, diesel fuel, propane and black water.
An AGM battery under my bed wouldn't bother me.. :B

yes without a second thought

Thanks for the replies. Any other pros or cons? Do I need to get a different converter? Life span vs cost?

We would,and we do. Have two Trojan AMG deep cycle batteries under our bed.

6V via 12v AGM is the way to think!

Well, technically I do - I sleep in the cabover bunk and have an AGM starting battery for the engine. So, the AGM battery is under my bed. Haven't had any issues. 😉

Seriously, I wouldn't have a problem with the battery. But I would not move any potential humming components under there (e.g., Converter, inverter).

Yes

Yes.
