do you have an inverter ?
if yes, how many watts ?
what do you power with it ? microwave, coffee machine, hair dryer ?
lots of people with CPAP on inverter and batteries
no heavy inverter loads, just TV and/or cpap
6v golf cart batteries will handle that, but my experience is they require a longer recharge time versus 12v AGM for the amount of amphrs used
in the past i have had 6v flooded, 12v flooded, 12v wet SLA, and 12v telco AGM
the telco AGMs have given 'Me' the best service
NEW they are $300 -$400 per battery
surplus 'removed from standby duty' found on craigslist $100 - $150 each
my first set lasted 5yrs of everyday full time over 1800 cycles
my second set is 14mo old in my previous RV
im actively watching craigslist to find some for 'this' RV
