Well, if you have group 24 batteries now then 75 * 3 = 225
A pair of slightly taller six volt is 230
Can you put a 3rd 24,27,29 or 31 in beside them? Yes, you can
By the way,, I like to say there are not six volt batteries IN an rv,, In your pick up between the store and RV yes, but in the RV no. Will explain
-{GC2}+-{GC2}+
Is the same as -{4-D DEEP CYCLE}+
Both arrangements give you 230 amp hours at 12 volt. the 4D is twice the weight of a single GC-2 however.
So can you parallel a BIG 12 volt battery with a small one. YES, is it the best of all possible arrangements, NO, would I do it,,, Well I do it so yes.
If you go with a quality Trojan SCS 12V deep cycle a group 24 will be rated 100 AH and if you can fit a group 27 it will be 115AH. So 2 batteries would give you the same as two T105s.
