Hi,
If the goal is to maximize dry camping ability then pick what ever voltage will result in the greatest number of amp-hours that are available.
2 golf cart batteries may give you about 232 amp-hours. 3 twelve volt jars may provide up to 375 amp-hours, depending on their "group". However the twelve volt batteries need to be wired in a balanced manner. The only effective way to do that is method #3 at the smartgauge site.
