my last MH had 2 x Group 29 (1/4" longer than group 27, but much more amp capacity) but my new 5th wheel has 2 x 6 volt (the 2200 series) and I have had a solar panel for both set ups--
I really do see a lot longer amp draw-down with the 6 volt batteries--their lead plates are so much thicker, and golf cart batteries are designed for a long draw down and recharge whereas 12 volt batteries are not really designed for a long draw down period (this is from Interstate Battery company that sells both types pf batteries).
just my $.02 worth.
