Battery recommendation
My new to me toy hauler came with only one battery. I plan to add a second battery and am looking for recommendations based on your experience.

Perhaps I misunderstand your conceptualization of a "campground"
I expect to be hooked to shore power at RV parks (and water) for most of our longer duration trips, or be running the generator. Only expect to be using battery power during quiet hours at RV parks or whenever we don't need AC for TV, MW, etc.
then a single or pair of 12V "marine" batteries and an upgrade to the WFCO converter to a PD or Iota drop in replacement. the drop in will do a better job of fast charging the batteries and getting them to full charge.
And 1 or 2 12V batteries will likely last you through the day or more and be inexpensive.
A pair of GC 6V would last longer but cost more and you'd probably not see any real benefit. If you wanted to go the 6V route I'd suggest a pair from Costco or Sam's club. way less expensive than a pair of Trojans, which likely would be overkill for you.
It has a new Interstate battery now so I will likely match it with another Interstate once I get the converter issue taken care of. If down the road I find that isn't working I will replace them with 4 6V GC batteries.
