Basic battery questions
The battery in my TT is officially dead. I'm contemplating replacing the 12v with a pair of 6 volt golf cart batteries. I've had Trojans before in another RV, but am shocked at the price of them these...

GC2 6V batteries at Sam's club or Costco are 2/$200 (or less, I paid $190 w/core charges and tax). You won't find a decent hybrid Marine 12V for less than $130. With 2X 6V's you'll have around 220AH of capacity. The 12V will have around 100-120AH of capacity.
What I'd suggest is to buy the Sam's club 6V's and put $200 into solar charging. At $400, you'll be at < half the price of a Honda generator, won't have to lug it around, or buy gas and oil.
If you're only going to use a battery occasionally and have a tight budget, buy one 12V Trojan or other deep cycle battery and revisit your battery/charging situation later.
