Lead Acid Battery - 2 Cells No Float
So I picked up a new (to me) rig from family last weekend. It had been sitting at the BIL's place for several years. He started it occasionally, but never kept it plugged in. 2 of the 3 group 29,...

With solar you do shallow cycles and don't get PCL you would notice getting to full or near full so often. 6s get PCL too. It is easier to "recover" them after than the marine/Rvs. T-1275s are like 6s for that--loved my T-1275s!
Guys on here can help with how to attach to your fibreglass roof. You can just lay them out lashed to the cargo rails to keep them out of reach, drop the wires down to the controller near the batts.
The 1093DBD is good for marine/rv batts. Mex got me onto that and time2roll (used to be smk) was right that they like "low and slow".
Set it to 4 amps and push the Equalize button and it brings them up slowly to 15.7v. You don't have to be there for that so good for overnight. Mex wants 16v if you can get it. Anyway that gets the SG up into the green and you can do it again if the SG is not all the way up. Painless compared with the agonies I had with my 27s back when.
You want a good size bank to run the inverter doing a microwave. After you win the Lotto, you can join the Lithium stampede and get more usable AH in the same space, plus they handle big draws like inverter-MW, and no sulphation so no PCL. Meanwhile you can stall like you said with three 12s until you can tell where you want to go with your batts.
