Single big battery v/s 2 batteries in parallel

Due to size limitations of the battery tray on the frame of my travel trailer, I can fit 2 smaller batteries side by side, or one big battery. So, which would be better? Get 2 batteries and put them...

The battery AH capacity is pretty much proportional to the battery weight. For a 300AH capacity battery bank it is much easier for me to man-handle two 62lb batteries than one 128LB battery.

I sometimes don't have the room to setup a block and tackle winch to pull one of those heavy guys...

62 must be a typo for 82 at 300AH. :) T-1275 at 150AH. Yes they are heavy. Eat your Wheaties.
