"8 D Battery" Anyone ever use one for house batt?

Compare the weight of one 8D battery to your 4 6volts. Also look at the cost of one 8D quality deep cycle battery compared to your 6volts. Your 4 batteries that you have now are double the amp hours of a single 8D. For running the coach, your main concern is amp hours and not cranking amps. Once you do the comparisons, your answer should be simple. Chuck
