6 volt batteries

You should be just fine,My Tioga came with the optional 2 6 Volt batteries under the step.They are designed for that weight.

That is if your battery compartment looks like mine.

I have a 2000 fleet wood tioga with the battery well under the door step. I see no structural damage or comprise to the battery well, but with the added weight of the 6 volt batteries is there a concern I am overloading the well? Has anyone had issues in the past?

Where did you buy those US battery??

I bought two US brand 6 volt to replace old T-105's on advice of a local battery shop. $50 less apiece, seem to be as good.

I bet all the salesman love to see you walk into their store.

You should see how they treat me in a tire store when I tip them $40 to get the job done in an hour.

I save the $40 and make an appointment...usually done in around 30-45 minutes...

Both batteries should be excellent.

Interesting question. Its kinda of like asking which one of two beautiful blondes is the best. They both are the best. I've had a Deka battery in my Goldwing and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and I now have Trojan T-106 in my motohome. I once drove from Hemet, California to Phoenix, Arizona, just to pick up a Deka. With that said, I would venture to guess that the Trojans are more widely used in golf carts and motorhome applications than Dekas, but that does not necessarily make them any "better."

Take a look at the Duracells. They are made by Deka. My see link below. I made a little movie about the 6 v battery install.

Both are excellent batteries. In the factory we always ran Trojans in all the personnel carriers such as Cushman, EZGO and JLG manlifts. It was common to see larger Deka batteries in pallet trucks and sometimes lift trucks. Many times a new foreman would cut back to cheap no name 6 volts and before long they'd be scrambling to get a couple pallet loads of Trojans in. I'd buy Trojan. Do you have 14.8 volts available for daily charging?
