I went with the two 6-volts back in 2009 and they seem to still be going strong. I did have the same reservation about losing one battery. But in the end I figured that it was highly unlikely. I think that it's also important to realize that really the loss of one 6volt is most likely not the end of the world.
Really the worst case is that one of my weekend camping trips gets cut short. It's not like I'm running a life support machine out of my trailer or anything like that. :B
Okay there is another negative to running the dual 6 volts. As stated above they are a true deep cell battery so they have really thick lead plates in them. Those suckers are heavy and I pull them every time I store the trailer. So the downside is I feel like I'm going to throw out my back every time I lug them around. ;)
