Battery?

Just brought home a Sandpiper T22 finally! It of course needs a battery. What's the battery of choice these days. I'm not doing the duel 6 volt set up for now and I don't think I want to spend the $275-300 for an optima either. Appreciate the input!Thanks

    I would buy Lifeline brand AGM if I was spending money. No quality AGM is exactly cheap.

    I'll bring a generator if I'm out in the boonies or I'll probably be at a camp ground. I guess I should have said that I do want an AGM. Whats the best AGM for the money? Thanks

    I have 2 12Vdc deep cycles mostly because the trailer came that way. There have been a few times that was good but don't expect furnace use very long, radio, tv, frig and lighting okay, better with LEDs.

    how you camp is the answer. if your a week end guy with hookups? a wal mart deep cycle will do. if your a out in the desert with no power you need a good agm . what your using your rv for makes a difference in how much battery you need.

    If you camp in campgrounds with electricity, almost any 12 volt RV battery will do.

    Hopefully you didn’t tow your new TT home without a battery....which powers the brakes if you detach.
