Prariepoodle,
I don't know why he would have said that. I've been using two twelve volt batteries in my Monty for going on 4 years. They are the 'maintenance free' type. We mostly use shore power hookups when we travel but do boondock at Quartzsite every year for a week or so. When at home the trailer is hooked to shore power all the time.
And I know that a number of other folks use the AGM and or maintenance free type batteries. I have not heard of anyone having any particular problem with them. They sure make it easier to "check". My previous batteries (not maintenance free) suffered from my failure to check regularly and keep the proper amount of fluid in them.
I like the maintenance free type but when these go out I'll probably replace with the 6 volt deep cycle type and add an auto watering system.
