Why should I switch to golf cart 6v batteries
Can anyone explain in plain easy to understand language what practical benefits you derive from replacing 12v coach batteries to 6v golf cart batteries? I currently have 2 group 24 (95AH) batteries ...

Mexicowanderer probably knows more about lead acid batteries and their care and feeding than everyone else on this forum combined. Follow his advice.
For us, changing from 2 group 24s to 4 GCs was a good move but we do depend on them when shore power is inadequate, which is frequent, in Mexico. We did have to slightly modify the battery compartment to deal with the extra height and are very pleased that we did.
IF you don't drycamp/boondock regularly or for long periods the group 24s will probably be fine. If $$ aren't a consideration, go for the GCs.
Another note: how well do you look after the batteries that you have? A little preventive maintenance can increase battery life.
