I finally ended up going back to the original set up...Two-12v batteries I bought from ,,,Yes, Costco. I got their group 24 series (85 amps each x 2 = 170 total amps) RV/Marine Deep Cycle batteries.
I would have liked to have bought their group 27 size (115 amps each), but they were just too big for my tray.
I have already tried them out on 2 camping trips and I am believer in them again. I was able to watch TV (over an hour) again without that darn inverter warning alarm going off within 10 mins (indicating a low charge) and whenever my water pump turns on now, my lights dont dim or flicker like they did before.
One other thing I dont need to worry about...with the 6 volts, if one of them went bad, I was SOL. With the 12 volts, one can go bad and I am still up and running.
I took care of my past batteries...almost to the point of being anal about them.
All I know, this is my 4th set of batteries since I bought my rig in Dec 2005 (first set of 12 volts were still working when I went to 2-6 volts....second and third sets were 6 volts, now back to 2-12 volts)and that doesnt seem right.
I know others love and swear by their 6 volts and that is great...but not me, I am staying with 12 volts from now on.
