- RLS7201Explorer III believe the best bang for the buck is two 6 volt golf cart batteries from Sam's Club or Costco.
Richard - MFLNomad IIOP...you need to give more info, as to use? If just for RV park, always shore power, or boondocking sometimes? Lots of good options depending.
I use Interstate brand 12V RV/Marine due to mostly shore power hookup availability.

Home built can be an especially good value.

First report I've seen on facebook of someone who disconnected their Li battery in the fall at 50% state of charge. Temperature was -5 c (23 f)at the lowest. Now they have two expensive door stops. - Old_DaysExplorer III am planning to buy 2 Renogy 100 amp hour batteries from Amazon for the trailer they are $189 dollars each.

What? Com-on 2old, lets be nice! :) If he is boondocking, at least suggest using a couple actual deep cycles. Many seem to think a couple 6v golf cart batteries paired is a good choice.
