I need to replace the 1 battery that came in my fifth wheel and add a little more capacity. I'm thinking about 2 Trojan 6V or 1 or 2 Trojan AGM batteries. Any suggestions? We camp with hookups most of the time, but once in a while I'd like to have some capacity. I like the idea of AGM for less maintenance but someone told me that all converters won't charge them. What do I need to look for prior to purchasing and putting these in?
Since you don't dry camp much, a couple 6v golf cart batteries would certainly give you more capacity, and for minimal cost. < $100 each, at Sam's or Costco, in most places, vs $200+ EACH for Trojans. I did, and I get about 1-2 more days' camping than my dual 12v's gave me, depending on use. Yeah, maintenance is higher, but it's not a huge deal. Buy a watering system to make keeping them full is also a good investment. Now, if you plan on dry camping more than you currently do, the larger investment might be justified.
