We prefer boondocking and have done so extensively since getting our current rig over a decade ago. Upon purchase we had the dealer install a pair of 12 volt rv/marine batteries that appeared to do a decent job of providing power when we were RVing off the power grid, after a couple of years they were not bouncing back like they had before, we went to Samsclub and picked up a pair of 6 volt GC2 batteries for $60 a piece.
Same smart converter charger, same built-in genny, didn't notice a drop off in performance for 7 years. Gave them another year of use and just replaced them last season for another set of GC2 batteries where we paid $80 each. I guess 8 or so years from now when I need batteries again they may cost nearly $100 each, without a doubt the best bang for your buck if you plan to run them hard like we do.
