Need battery for house and gen starting?
Thinking about this for my house battery and for starting the onboard generator, $120. EverStart Maxx, SLA, Group Size 65N (12 Volt/850 CCA) What do y'all think? Thanks!

If you plan to use full hookup campgrounds all the time i would stick with a single 12v batt.
But for off grid camping two 6v’s are nice. Hook two together in series for 12v and 225 amps.
A solar panel of 200-400w would be a good way to keep the batts topped off but for very shady or rainy days the genny has to run unless you drive all day to another place, then your alternator should charge the bank. They might not charge to a complete 100% but being close to that will work.
Depending on how you plan to use your rv, a bank like this will work well if you camp in parks without hookups. You will need a small generator to run about 2-3 hrs. each day to bring the bank back up to full which is 12.6v at rest. As soon as you turn the generator off, the battery voltage will give you a higher reading of 13v plus. It will drop down to 12.6 or so as the batteries rest.
