House battery recommendations.............

Ok, wanting to put in a reliable, RV house battery in used RV just purchased. Has a single marine/RV type battery you'd get from AutoZone or similar outlet.

I have upgraded to BattleBorn Lithiums in my personal RV, but, don't think my cousin who is taking this RV is looking to spend that kind of $$$ since he'll be doing light boondocking and campgrounds.

Before asking, I "searched" above using "house battery" and just not getting to direct answers. Thanks for any suggestions!

    If you have room, it's hard to beat a pair of (lower-end) 6V GC2 golf car batteries for the capacity and longevity per dollar spent. Costco and/or Sam's Club often have pretty good deals on them, as sometimes do local golf cart dealers.

    If "light boondocking" means basically just the occasional overnight without power and there are no big 12V draws like a residential fridge, the single RV/Marine battery might serve just fine as-is.
