Replacing 4 6 volt batteries
Here comes another electrical question. I need to replace my 4 6 volts coach batteries, I do not want to go the cost of AGMs. What would be the best choice for a 2006 Holiday Rambler Ambassador? ...

I'm interested in the amps needed to make this type of stopping painless.
Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner.
Go thru and estimate what you run off the batteries and how long you want to run it.
Multiply the hours of operation times the amp draw for each item(divide watts by 12 to get amps). Add maybe 25% as a fudge factor. This is the number of amp-hrs you need to supply.
When you buy the batteries, go with 3-4 times the amp-hrs you calculated. The reason is if you use the full rated amp-hrs of the batteries, they don't last very long.
Now that you know what you need pick paired 6v or 12v batteries that fit and have sufficent amp hours.
