I have been flamed for saying this but there are no SIX VOLT batteries in RV's.
Only 12 volt that have been split into two halves for easier handling.
So you use only 12 volt stuff. the two sixes, when hooked in series are roughly a 4D (that's a BIG 220 amp hour 12 volt battery)
Actually the converter in the RV should charge those just fine less it is a very old rig with a very old converter.
I have been using 6v GC-2's in my RV's for years. Outfitting my new one with L-16's.
IMHO: The group 27 "marine deep cycle" batteries that come in so many RV's are useless in this application.
