Spade,
As you have a towable, you will have a hard time keeping the battery up as the TV can pretty much not be counted on to charge it because the wire length is too long.
As to what battery, you will have a hard time finding an inexpensive true deep cycle 12V jar. They are available, but they are rare. A marine battery is just a bad compromise.
But if you don't boondock often or long, don't worry about it.
So, is you want better answers:
How often do you drycamp?
How long do you drycamp?
Do you have a generator of any capacity?
