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 in my Class C and other RV owners have extolled the virtues of 6v batteries but no one has explained why I should consider replacing the 12v. I would especially like input from those that have made the switch and from those that have considered such a switch but decided not to. Thanks.

Near the end of this long discussion here's my take at trying to make a long story short -

RV 12 volt electrical systems function best when centered around deep cycle type batteries. Deep cycle batteries are difficult and/or expensive to find and/or buy in 12 volt versions, so usually deep cycle 12 volt batteries ARE NOT the 12 volt battery versions delivered in many RVs when new.

However, there is a very easy and/or inexpensive way to buy a 6 volt deep cycle battery for an RV because that's what a lot of golf carts and other common equipment use. So .... many RV owners just switch to these commonly available 6V deep cycle batteries in order to improve the performance of their RV's 12 volt electrical systems through use of deep cycle batteries.
