There are plenty of us very familiar with Trojan batteries. They are good batteries period! They are also mostly flooded batteries but they do make an AGM series as well. If you buy flooded batteries, you have signed up for KP duty and that is okay if you don't mind that additional duty checking them all the time. I prefer to fish, grill, explore and drink 'water'
when I'm out in the RV. You didn't say so not sure if you are considering flooded wet cell (The kind you have to add water too) or maintenance free Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) You certainly don't want Gel.
AGMs are the new flooded and Lithium is the new AGM so if you get flooded, you are kinda behind the times but its not a bad thing. They do work and last like a good ole' flip phone.
The ROI with AGMs is pretty sound and most are moving to them. There are many to choose from including Trojan.
I'm sure you've heard people talking about and even using Lithium. They are coming on strong and most of the concerns of freezing and fires are already addressed, fixed and a non-issue but will take time for the public to accept that as fact.
Some like Optima. I do to but they waste real estate with that spiral design so you don't get as many amp hours.
Bottom line, there is nothing wrong with Trojan batteries.
There are better including Lifeline, Crown and others with better warranties but they are often a little more expensive.
