The most important thing is to purchase TRUE deep cycle batteries. They will last longer than normal or "dual purpose" batteries.
Deep cycle AGM will cost more and are difficult to locate. Costco/Sams Club flooded/wet golf cart batteries are still the best bang for the buck and easy to locate. Noco does make a battery box that will hold two 6V batteries.
Mounting more than 2 batteries on the tongue is not a good idea. If you do plan on travelling with the batteries in the bed of your truck, I suggest you use Anderson SB175 or SB350 connectors. Make sure you have adequately sized cables from the battery to the trailer distribution panel and the charger.
