The 27's would not fit so I went with twin 24's. MAxxs from Walmart. A total of 184 amp hours. Odd the website price is $99 but I was only charged $68 apiece.
We'll see how thing go. The wet cells are supposedly more fragile in high vibration settings but boats are mentioned. Considering the rigidity of the F350's suspension the trailer isn't going to bang them around any more that what the truck batteries experience. So far we have only pulled on paved roads.
I also went with 6 gauge wires for battery to battery jumpers. The 4 was too stiff and 8 seemed a little light. Looks like 6 is what the manufacture used. The draw will be light anyway as we have shore power at the site.
Thanks again for the feedback.
