Battery recommendation
As some may know..I had my battery ripped off today. Looking for recommendations.. 12v? 6v? A local guy can get me 6v Trojans for $200 each...

It really a matter of cost. Two GP24 GC2 (GOLF CART) 6V Batteries from COSTCO wired in series will give you around 220 AHs for around $90 each plus returned core.
The OP is here in Ontario where I am also and there's not a chance on the planet one can buy 6 volt deep cycle batteries for just $90, even at Costco. While one can't argue with the technical advantages of a pair of 6 volt GC2 batteries augmented with some sort of solar re-charging capability, for those who dry camp only occasionally a couple of 12 volt batteries IMO make more sense as one has a choice between running both simultaneously in parallel or just one at a time, thereby allowing one battery to be recharged (offsite if necessary) while the other keeps the trailer fully functional.
To the OP -
When buying a deep cycle battery don't look just at price but also warranty - many are covered for only one year but if you head to a local RV Care dealer you can buy a DC24, DC27, or DC 31 deep cycle battery that carries a full 2 yr warranty, good at any RV Care dealer in Canada.
