Sam's Club or Costco have 6V batteries, generally for around $85 or so apiece. Sam's Club (but not Costco) has a one-day membership available with a 10% surcharge on purchases. That's one way to get a pair of 6V batteries for about $200, or less if you or someone you know has a membership.
The $345 batteries may well be a little bit higher capacity or a better brand than the Sam's Club/Costco ones, but the differences are rather minuscule when compared with the difference between a single 12V RV/Marine battery and the pair of golf cart batteries.
As others have said, a single 12V battery would likely be sufficient for a weekend in warm weather when you don't need to use the furnace, assuming it's in good shape and fully charged to start and you exercise a little care in conserving power.
