Small Battery Instead of Large Deep-Cycle
My trailer is always connected either to shore power, or to my truck. Even at home where I store it. I never boondock and have no plans to do so. I'm thinking of buying a smaller, cheaper, battery...

A group 24 deep cycle shouldn't be more than about $75.
I don't know if the lawn mower battery would lock down your trailer brakes for very long in a break-away situation.
Many converters use the battery to help filter their output. The smaller the battery the less filter.
Do you have slides? Most slides pull too much to operate on the converter alone and use battery power to help. A smaller battery might not allow the slides to work properly.
