Some RVer's are like you and rarely boondock. Trojan's recommendations for a Marine/RV would be fine. The lower Cycle life is fine, and they have the advantage of less V drop under load.

But others are full-timers and boondock a lot. They cannot afford the low cycle life of a marine battery. And make do with the V drop perhaps by adding more non-marine batteries.

I'm somewhere in between and can't decide. :)

According to your profile you're here in Ontario as I am and I'm sure you're as aware that the idea of "boondocking" is just about an impossibility, certainly here in S Ontario where virtually every square inch of land is owned by someone who has no interest in having you on their land. Yes, the Ontario government does run a limited boondocking program in some areas in N Ontario but reality is it's little known and very few actually take advantage of the program ... have you?

Well, the way *we* camp is rather a red herring.
All I'm saying above is that different people have different needs.
Seems pretty simple to me. There's no single battery technology that fits every single person out there.

But to answer your question: Most of our camping is in the U.S. as we are Snow Birds. We spend 3-4 months down there in the Winter and prefer the out of the way (and cheaper) areas of the National Parks and Reserves (Smoky Mountains, Long Pine in Everglades and any of the Big Cypress Reserve campgrounds for example). There is no electricity available at these places.

And in the Summer when camping in the Ontario Prov. Parks, we prefer the non-electric sites which are usually less crowded and often more scenic. For example, Killbear has some beautiful non-electric sites right on the lakeshore. And one of our favourite campgrounds is Wakami Lake in the North which has no electric sites. We rarely camp in S. Ontario.
