Correct. Four 6 VDC "regular" golf cart batteries wired in series/parallel will give you around 440 amps @ 12 VDC.

Thanx Brett. With our current setup, we're pretty much limited to FHU camping (an oxymoron for sure). I'd like to be able to hit a state or national park that isn't FHU and be limited by holding tank capacity rather than electrics, running the genny once or twice a day.

I have a Xantrex 2000 W inverter/converter in there now (can't remember the model number) and it does have settings for battery type. I also have a Magnum sitting in the basement that I can swap out if need be.
