Marine/RV Battery
Which to buy, Costco Interstate or Walmart Everstart?
Forum Discussion
I second getting two 6 volt instead of two 12, but are you wanting one or two? if one then you need one 12 and not one 6 of course.
Mechanics always swear by Interstate batteries, so for a 12v is probably the longer-lasting choice. The real difference being how many years they will last.
Are you boondocking or just needing to make it from campground to campground?
How long does your camp trips last? How long in between trips, how many per year etc???
For light, minimal, campground use then go for cheapest battery you can find as it will die from lack of use before you can wear it out.
If a serious full-timer then you would want to look into more serious batteries than the big box stores will have.
For moderate camping and boondocking then two 6 volt batteries from any store will be fine. Probably need to get from auto parts store. I know Advanced was the only ones who had them in stock when I bought mine.
