switching to two 6 volt batteries?
I'm about to replace my two AF1150 batteries. They're currently Interstate Deep Cycle 12 volts wired in parallel. I'm thinking of going with two 6Volt golf cart batteries. Sam's sells the Duracel...

10min to add water a couple times per year...ehhh. Should be checking on connections etc anyway.
Never spilled acid or had fumes do any damage, so...ehhh.
Fumes will corrode things when the batteries gas when charging.
It's more like 30+ minutes to check batter fluid level in an AF camper.
You can't get access to the inner battery, even though they are on a useless sliding tray that most AF owners despise.
The tray only slides half way out.
The only time I was able to check the water was when I took the camper off the truck for the winter and was able to disconnect the batteries and removed them to check fluid.
Checking water when the camper was on the truck was an impossible feat because getting them out required the use of a ladder. Carrying them down a ladder isn't fun (or safe)
They make battery filling systems to address access problems. They are pretty simple and not expensive.
If your charger is causing large amounts of gassing, fix/replace the charger.
