This spring I asked similar questions and it was impressive the amount of knowledge and information shared by folks on here.
My main decision point was deciding between 2- 6v GC's or 2- 12v Group 31's.
For extended boondocking with occasional generator use to recharge, I wasn't sure if I'd need more. If I did, I could add ONE 12v (3 total), but would have to add TWO 6v (4 total).
In the end I elected to build a large battery box out of a truck tool box and use 4- 6v GC batteries, new converter, and pure sine wave inverter.
On our previous camper, we didn't boondock as much. We had the old converter and a pair of Group 31's (up from original single Group 27). They served us well.
We did upgrade all lights to LEDs, which REALLY helped.
As for the tech part of it, a lot of smart fellows on here ;)
