If you never camp w/o AC power you could buy a lawn & garden battery. It's still enough to activate the brakes.
I wanted to put a deep cycle battery in the battery compartment on my B but couldn't find any small enough to fit through the tiny door. I used the lawn and garden battery with the most CCA I could find at Rural king. It's been in there a year and hasn't given me any trouble. One time I was at a campground when a thunderstorm took out the power to the shore line. The interior lights run off the battery and didn't flicker. The same with my TV/DVD player. It can run off 120 or 12 volts but I usually have it in the 12 volt setup. One advantage to a house battery is if your vehicle battery dies because you left the lights on, you can remove the house battery and use it to jump start the vehicle.
