Here is a simple way to answer all your 6V v/s 12 battery questions.
THERE ARE NO SIX VOLT BATTERIES IN RVs.. they are all 12 volt (once installed)
Some are one piece Say a group 27 MARINE/deep cycle (not a good choice)
Some are in two pices {GC2}--{GC2} (Very good choice) but all are 12 volt.
You have the good choice
Chassis ground -{GC2}==={GC2}++12 volt.
Treat the pair as you would a single 12 volt say a 4D. And all you 6/12 questions go poof.. Examples
Can i have one of one make and one of another (Can you have half a 12 volt Excide and half Interstate?) no keep them the same.
Can I replace just one? Can you replace just half a 12 volt?
How do I charge them? You charge it.
In short you are doing the right thing.
