Regarding the two 6VDC GC2 batteries connected in series verses a single 12VDC battery. You have to think of the two 6VDC batteries as one large 12VDC battery. True if one of the 6VDC batteries fail then you are out of luck. This really would be a rare event however. Have you ever lost your single 12VDC battery when camping. I havent...
The bigger deal is the two 6VDC GC2 batteries will give you around 220AH capacity which will produce 12VDC @ 25AMPs DC current for a good 400 minutes 6HRS). The golf cart batteries have massive battery cores inside. The cost is only going to be around $180 dollars. This is a pretty low cost to consider.
You can get a couple of 12VDC 110AH battery in parallel but the GP24-GP27 models you readily find at the local stores will only produce 12VDC@25 AMPS in about half the time the GC2 Golf Cart battery will produce the same power. Check the TROJAN PRODUCT SPECIFICATION PDF to see how the different batteries perform.
Since we camp alot off the power grid I too am sort of reluctant to only have a couple of 6VDC batteries connected in series. I probably would always have two groups of two 6VDC batteries on hand to always have a PLAN B.
Only you can answer that question haha...
