Appreciate everyone's help. We belong to sams so thats where I went first. Was gonna go check on price of trojans but there was a big road. construction jam up so I opted out.
Does anyone know if I can use a Battery Tender (thats the brand) to keep em topped up or do I need to use a regular charger set to 6 volts? Also, I'll check the water level, but wonder if I shouldn't charge them before my trip? I've got 2 days.
Thanks again.
When you hook them up in series you treat/charge them like any other 12V.
Ground/Chassis - Neg (Batt 1 6v) Pos -jumper- Neg (Batt 2 6v) Pos - To camper loads.
Ground on one battery get the same ground as the 12vers. The Pos of that battery is jumper to the neg of the second battery, the Pos of the second battery is your 12V lead for the camper.

Thanks Chris...So for charging, connect charger red lead to positive of battery who's positive is 12v lead to trailer and connect black charger lead to trailer ground where 2nd battery's negative lead connects to trailer. Thereby its one big battery. Is this right?
Thanks again.
