Might as well be 6V.
The OP said in his original post -
"I am looking at adding a second battery to my travel trailer".
As long his first battery is in good shape there's no reason he can't simply add a second similar one - no need to replace it with a pair of 6 volt jugs.

For pro cables you can have them custom made here at a good price: http://www.genuinedealz.com/custom-cables?size=56
$600 for solar seems like a lot. Portable you don't need a fancy kit. Panel (or 2), controller and some wire to connect.
160w panel $179
Morningstar controller $50
