Battery Trojan vs. LIfeline
Ok, i've done my research, measured my area for a 2-battery bank and am looking at these two possibilities: 1) Lifeline - GPL-6CT RV - 2 6-volt AGM batteries - $440.99 + s/h - Total = $1,023.94 ...

ISTR reading in this forum at times that there is no advantage 6v vs 12v with AGMs like you get with Wets, where most Wet "deep cycle" batts are not so good at deep cycling (exception being 12v T-1275s and similar ones)
If true, then if going AGM, why not stick with 12v if the price is right?
If going AGM, there are at least a couple of situations in which it may make more sense to use 6V AGMs instead of 12V AGMs:
1. Your RV's battery storage area may lend itself better to use of the typical taller/not-as-wide "golf cart shaped" 6V deep cycle AGM batteries instead of the typical shorter/wider "group sized" 12V deep cycle AGM batteries.
2. When wanting to install four batteries instead of two batteries, the heavy cable wiring is simpler when inter-connecting four 6V deep cycle AGM batteries in a balanced configuration than when inter-connecting four 12V deep cycle AGM batteries in a balanced configuration.
