There are attributes to both 6 and 12 volt.

6 volt wins on thicker plates and on cell count.

12 volt wins on ability to power a LARGE inverter, and on resistance.

Six volt Golf cart jars are cheaper per amp-hour than deep cycle 12 volt units.

The ultimate battery bank would be six two volt cells with an amp-hour capacity of 800.

Any reasonable voltage battery can be made to work well in an RV.
