For anyone in search of new batteries, I found 6 volt golf cart batteries at Costco for $79 bucks, same spec as the trojan T605 I believe, which is what I installed in my motorhome in 2007. Great price.

What type of terminals do they have? Sam's Club has GC2 golf cart batteries for $73 BUT they are solid posts not threaded terminals with wing nuts like the MoHo has now.

Could that have been 105 vs 605?

Mine are the 605's, though I know trojan has 105's as well. Specs are similar if I recall correctly.

Thanks for the part number

To convert solid posts (Starter type) to screw type simply get a set of cable ends at any auto store... Or you can get an "Adapter" (Same source) few dollars a pair.

Installed 4 costco 6 volts in my brothers Itasca Suncruiser today. A work of beauty. Had to move the engine battery to a new location to fit all 4 six volters.

Great looking job...

Where did you mount the starting battery?
