Adding more battery capacity in limited space
I thought that I could create enough space to install 2 more golf cart batteries in addition to the 2 that I already have but my 24' class C has very limited space. What is the downside of using a Tr...

I got two used T-1275s in 2013 that had been in a golf cart for two years and were no longer considered worthy for that job. I did the "recovery" stuff (equalized etc) and got them back into decent shape. They lasted till early this year doing all kinds of 50-90s and high amp fast recharges etc. like I do.
I had the two T-1275s in parallel in parallel with two 6s in series as the usual set-up. Worked great. The T-1275 has big holes for the cells, like a 6 does, unlike the 27s with those tiny holes. Means they recharge nicely like a 6 does with bubbles and the SG comes right up like it is supposed to, same as a 6.
My two 6s at the time were Interstates and also a pair of Exide 135s. Sometimes I went with six batts: the two T-1275s and the two pairs of 6s, wired up as three big 12s.
You can't go wrong whatever combo you go with. T-1275s are a good RV battery for deep cycling and fast recharging, same as a 6. With T-105s they have the same charging specs too.
