Adding a 2nd Battery?
Would it be a problem if I connected a second battery to the current battery. My Class C had 2 Batteries, Class A only has 1.

Plattpd,
If you parallel two 12V jars that are less than identical, your result will be way less than the sum of the capacity. How much less? That depends on many things, too many to go into here.
As a short term fix, it might be good, but carry a new box of baking soda. You may need it. I have seen very few battery explosions that did not involve jars in parallel.
For reference, for a time our coach had a single 4D house jar. It could run the heat all night if I did not start it until we went to bed. We now have a pair of GC2 (actually T105s now) and that will run the heat evening into the next morning, but they are done.
