Another battery question

After a search on this forum and google, I am still a little lost on a battery alternative for my nortstar 650. It will be used 80% dry camping and I am considering solar as an add on. Is the idea of 2 6v in series or one 12v (wet cell or agm)the way to go and then, which brand? Has anyone with 2 6v ever had one fail? A good deep cycle wet cell with the associated maintenance would be where I am tending to go but would like other opinions as to some other advantage that I may be missing. Thanks
  • I would start with battery compartment. Do you have room for dual 6V? Not many Truck Campers would. Does your TC have access to the truck bed? Could build a battery tray of some sort to connect additional automotive 12V batteries. Solar would be nice. Hard for me to justify with onboard generator.

    Here's a pricey battery upgrade
