The typical RV 6V deep cycle battery weighs 70 lbs and has 220 Ah capacity. So 110 Ah to 50% SOC. 2 12V would be about 160 Ah and less suited for house batteries. IF your car has a 12V charge line in the rear plug then it MAY charge the batteries. But likely the wiring is to small for anything but a minimum charge. In that case install heavy wires from car battery to trailer battery with connector and fuses.
Sounds like you should get some help with the wiring so that it's done correctly both electrically and mechanically.
