Camping with them all in series/parallel is no big deal, but the possible harm is from undercharging any of them for too long so they get sulfated. The real question is how do you recharge your batteries--is it enough?
I did a couple years with five batteries in a bank. Two older and one newer 27DC 12s with two 6s. Lately I have had six in a bank. Two 6s , two 6s, and two 12v T-1275s. No problems from banking them.
With three 12s and two 6s, I did it as two big 12s with the three 12s as one big 12 in parallel with the two 6s as the other 12.
