12v marine/deep cycle batteries
I know they are not true deep cycle and I have no intention of going to 6 volt batteries. Which would be your choice between the Interstate SRM-29 and the WalMart Everstart Maxx 29DC? I can get the I...

Hmmmmm. My 2007 Winnebago Outlook 31C (Class C) MH currently has 2 of the 6v "golf cart" type batteries under the step. Of course, the fact that Winnebago made mine tall enough for those batteries doesn't mean they made yours tall enough.
I probably have enough raw clearance under our step for 6V golf cart batteries. However, our battery storage area is completely steel lined (even the cover has steel on it's underside) ... so I didn't want the terminals on the top of tall GC batteries to be that close to a metal surface. Besides, I wanted to go with true deep cycle AGM batteries anyway - so why not go with 12 volt jars.
Does anyone have proof that inexpensive 6V flooded golf cart batteries will outperform expensive 12V AGM deep cycle dry batteries in RV service? I've had outstanding service from 12V AGM deep cycle batteries - such as long life, no adding of water, and no corrosion of their steel lined storage area.
P.S. An even more intriguing question is: Would 6V true deep cycle AGM batteries perform better in RV service than 12V true deep cycle AGM batteries (both scenarious with the same overall AH rating, of course)?
