Yes you can if it will physically fit correctly and be secured down.

The ah rating is how much electricity is stored in the battery. More stored electricity means you can take more out without recharging before it goes flat.

Out of interest Are you asking about leisure battery or starter battery?

The larger battery should have a higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amperes) rating, and hence facilitate cold starting. There is also the possibility of allowing more use of the ICE system without discharging the battery severely, when parked.

However some motorhomes have restrictive payloads, and the increased weight of the larger battery should be considered in this respect.
