If you can find 12 volt DEEP CYCLE (not marine/deep cycle) batteries, there is no basic difference, 200 amp hours of battery (rounded for ease) is 200 amp hours of battery

6 volts OTOH are plentiful, affordable, and don't require a crane.
All features that lend themselves to RV use.
I think you left out the words DEEP CYELE as in 12 volt DEEP CYCLE batteries are often rare, heavy and expensive.
And thank you, that was indeed the point I wished to make.. But I figured I'd let them figure that out by shopping for one :).
