I just got back from our first boondocking trip with a pair of Costco 6V's.
They worked great. Between the batteries and 160W of portable solar, I can probably go for weeks at a time. (in warm weather of course)
I considered 3 12v batteries, but couldn't justify the modifications on the tongue or the price of comparable batteries. It is easier to find a true 6v deep cycle than to find a true 12v deep cycle. Most of your 12v at big box stores are marine hybrids.
Pairs of 6V will charge just like 12V batteries. You may need to modify your battery cables depending on how long they are. I didn't have to modify mine. If you only have 1 battery currently, you will need an additional battery cable to link the 2 batteries.
