You are right. I forgot about the micro wave clock.
I am sure that will draw something.
Next time I do a test i will unplug it to be sure but I bet that is it.
regardless .25 amp draw is not going to make that much of a difference.
Soooo I am thinking the AGM is not the way to go. That leads me to either going back to two12v deep cycle or two 6V golf cart batteries.
unfortunately I may not have enough compartment height for the 6V.

The 6Volt GC batteries are definitely the way to go !!! (best bang for the buck)unless you want to spring for Lithium ---they do require maintenance- but the ones in my MH were new in the fall of 2012---I do equalize them once a year BTW--- 2) 6V GC batteries are appx. equivalent to 3) 12V Maintenance Free in Amp Hours
