12 volt batterie
TT came with 2 12v batteries. We very seldom boondock. It's time to replace batteries. Want to stay with 12v. Any suggestions?

STILL mystified as to why trolling and/or marine designated batteries are suggested for non trolling and/or non marine uses.
That is because terms like marine, trolling, deep cycle,... are marketing mumble speak.
What you want is the type of battery that meets your usage pattern.
An SLI, or starting, battery is designed for many 10% discharges with immediate recharge via the alternator being the pattern.
A deep cycle battery is designed for discharges which may accumulate to 80% over a period days before recharging.
A UPS battery is designed to be quickly and completely discharged by 100%, or to 10.5V, and then recharged slowly.
IMHO and YMMV.
