I have a 2000 Tiffin Zephyr. It has 4 deep cycle 12 volt batteries that power the coach. The batteries need to be replaced. I have heard that using 6 volt batteries is a more efficient and economic system. Can my system be converted?

Don't bother, reuse 4 new 12V deep cycle batterys.The cost and room and work involved does not outweigh any advantage to using Eight 6 volt batterys especially if your using 4DM size 12 volt

I doubt very seriously that the OP has (4) 4DM batteries installed. However, it would NOT take (8) eight GC-2 6Volt batteries to replace (4) four 12Volt batteries. It would only require four.

One would need to know what brand, size and type 12volt battery was being replaced/considered to make a definitive statement about which was best. My personal preference is the 6volt GC-2 setup.
