Two 6 volt batteries or two 12 volt batteries ??
Two 6 volt bats in series (12v) or two 12 volt batteries in parallel. Generally, which is a better way to go.amp hrs ??? Comments and experiences appreciated.

At the same time, the idea of an unexpected GC2 battery failure is also blown out proportion.
I understand that different situations call for different solutions. I just know I can get a lot more amps per dollar with 2 GC2 batteries rather than with two real true deep cycle 12V batteries.

I bet the latter is more likely to happen than a 6V die unexpectedly.
Every time this point is mentioned in these types of discussions it gets blown way out of proportion :S when if fact it's merely one point to consider, not intended to be the be the only reason to not choose 6 volt jugs, and doesn't diminish FrankShore's point in any way. Lose one of two 6 volts and you will be be out of business until you come up with an alternate solution, lose one of two 12 volts and you can continue on. Dual 12 volts also allow if you prefer to take one out of service for charging while the other continues to power the trailer, and in fact some prefer running their dual 12 volts this way rather than together all the time. Personal preference.
