What kind of battery's
My friend asked me to post and check on wich batteries would be best for him. He has a 30' travel trailer it has 2 lead acid batteries on it now. Next summer he is going to be camp host for 4 month...

Depends on intentions of using an inverter. For instance Northstar's Ultra High Capacity group 31 battery has a CCA rating of 1150 amperes. A pair of them would power a microwave via a true sine inverter equal to the CCA of (8) GC-220 units.
Unless I was permanently off-grid with a Daddy Warbucks pension for me Lithium is out of the ballpark. Then the camping spot would have to be temperate...
Like Mexico? The beach?
Where outdoor living is the rule rather than the exception. Where a 20 lb pot and an 1100 watt eqvt Flamaneta LPG lantern is the hot-setup (pun).
Much more demanding is a rolling hunting lodge. Cool to cold weather. Big time battery use for heater and lights.
I've been aboard cruising catamarans, where TWENTY-FOUR golf car batteries were heavily cycled overnight. And smaller sloops where a single group 27 was (according to the skipper) "more than enough".
So, I refuse to guess...waste of time IMHO :)
