You are just terrible with batteries :), but no matter--just buy new ones as required next year if the camper does not sell.
Don't buy any new ones now, wait till next year, since any new ones will not do well over the winter most likely in your care :) Just keep the existing batts going as best you can--desulphate them like crazy--for being able to run demos during your sales pitches.
If they are so bad that won't work, you still need one batt so you can do your demos. IMO get a new starting battery for the truck even if the one there now is only a couple years old. Use the old truck starting battery as the camper battery for demos. The buyer can get proper new batts himself, instead of your old starting battery.
Then next year for yourself, play it as it lies. (A golf saying)
BTW ignore those who say don't parallel 12s. I have a pair of Trojan 1275s in parallel, doing just fine thanks. What else could you do with them anyway? Bizarre. Oh, and also a pair of 12v deep cycle AGMs 100ah each. Of course they are in parallel.
