Hi River:

Lots of discussions on 6v vs. 12v batteries. If you must buy new batteries, I've weighted in on 12v deep cycle, in lieu of the 6v. Main reason is keeping everything 12v, if you lose one of the 6v you lose your entire system, and the new 12v deep cycle cost the same per battery as the 6v, and provide equal energy to run your coach/trailer.
