Well we all have our reasons. My choice is 3 of the Wal Mart Marine 12V batteries. For me three 12's are easier to take out and store in winter with a maintainer. I hated to lift out and carry the 6V Golf Cart Batteries I had for about 5 years.
PLUS the big bonus for me, is I use two of the batteries in the boat when I get to the lake. I can troll all day with the electric motor and crank the 115hp Evenrude engine when I need it.
I almost never boondock but if I do those three last all night and still power the slide in and out with no problems.
Almost forgot to mention I also use the batteries out of the RV to run the tractor. Three batteries and three uses.
