Most often the dealer installs one group 24 rv/marine battery when selling a new RV. That is probably what you have.
You could install a pair of 12vdc group 24, a pair of 6vdc golf car batteries, or larger 12vdc batteries such as group 27 or group 29. It is all up to you. The name on the battery isn't greatly important in spite of what advertisers tell you.
That's good advice and most trailers like yours come with a group 24 battery. What ever you do, I would recommend 2 batteries for the added capacity needed when boondocking. I've always ran dual group 24's because they're cheaper. If you've got the room, go to dual 27's or better yet 2 CG2 6v golf cart batteries.
