Default house batteries are ACD8D36-a problem mabye

My recently purchased 2001 Newell has AC Delco 8d36 house batteries, which I think are engine starter batteries. They are about a year old but I am worried that they will be a problem since they are not deep-cycle batteries. Advice would be appreciated.

The previous owner on my rig did the same thing. They will carry the fridge through the night and the TV's, but they will not carry the Aquahot through a night.

I'm with Tom, use them until they croak, and then replace with AGM. Mine lasted about three years before they gave up.

Tom and Richard, thanks for the response. It only makes sense to keep them as long as the will work well.
