My original 4 Trojan T-105 batteries lasted 13 years. Go with the golf cart batteries.
For solar, check this place. You will want to look for 12 volt nominal output, and aluminum frames, so you have something to attach to.
SunElec.com They had some 140 watt panels on sale a few weeks ago for $229.
Be careful not to buy house panels, without frames, and designed to mount to frames bolted to your roof. The frames can get expensive, and are not designed for flexing and traveling at 70 MPH.
If you click on my name, then click 'view posts' and search Solar, you will find several detailed responses on the subject, some with pictures of my roof and mounts.
You can buy the grey romex that is UV resistant at Home Depot. For mounts, I have 6" long 2" angle aluminum with holes for 3 #10 screws into the roof, and 5/16" hole for the 1/4" bolt into the panel.
Good luck,
Fred.
