We just bought our first RV. It's a 20' Fleetwood travel trailer. We're going to pull it with a 1-ton Dodge Maxivan. It came without batteries. There is space for two batteries. Now, it has a propane ...

I'm in the "two six volt golf cart batteries" group.
A six volt and twelve volt batteries are about the same size, but the six volt has three cells and the twelve has six. Since the cells in the 6 volt are larger, they can tolerate the deep cycling much better than a twelve volt.
Costco and Sam's Club tend to have the best prices on batteries. Good luck.
(I have four 6 volt batteries wired to provide 12 volts, but my coach has more electrical stuff and I need that much amperage. As others have posted, don't use the 12 volt option on your frig. Use the propane or 120 volt when available.)
