How many nights at a time are you planning to dry camp? For 1, maybe 2 nights a single 12V standard battery would do. I'm running 2 Group 29 batteries, an upgraded converter, and a Honda 2000i generator.
Oh okay, so it's more about the LENGTH of time for a dry camping getaway NOT how OFTEN one goes dry camping. :S
I read over and over again on battery posts and blogs that "If you do A LOT of dry camping then DC or 2x6v is better".
"A lot" interpreted as "how often". Very misleading.
"Yeah, we go three times a month for a Friday and Saturday night, so six nights a month."
vs
"Yeah, we go once a month from Sunday to Saturday - so six nights a month."

Sheeze, your one simple statement should be the standard quote.
Actually it's more "Yeah we go for a max of 3 days at a time". If you go dry camping only for 2 or 3 nights, then you might not need more battery.
Again, I would simply get the battery info and price from the salesman and then go price it if you buy it on your own. You may find they are charging you more than you could buy it on your own. In that case, you would be better off staying with the regular battery and then seeing if you'll need more.
