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...

Scary with just one 24. Must not be worried about voltage drop hitting the inverter alarm at 11v under any sort of load with the batt near 50%.

Based on my experience, I would not go off on a two week trip that way, but would get the two batts before that. No fun when the inverter alarms off near the end of the movie (TV/DVD) and you never find out if the butler did it or not. BTDT. Fixed that too. :)
