Consider the following statement, Then I will explain it, and then I will answer your question:
1: There are NO SIX VOLT BATTERIES in RV, only 12 volts.
2: For ease of handling and some other reasons (Cost) some of those 12 volt batteries are 2-piece units (Each piece is six volt).
3: Yes
Just hook the six volt pairs in series, as they are when in use, and you have an instant 12 volt battery, Every auto store from here to there and back again including Batteries Plus stores and many department stores sells 12 volt battery tenders.
And your 12 volt bat-t-ery will work just fine with one (That is a 12 volt battery split into two pieces with a jumper cable in the middle)
Thats almost comical, yes there are 6 volt batteries, they may be wired to 12v but they are most certainly 6v.
Now I assumed I had 2 choices, 1) unhook them and run them as 6v or see if it was possible to run a 12v across all 4
