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...

Wow that’s a pretty matter of fact recommendation for a very mid grade solution.
This wasn't a "mid grade" solution in 2015 when I did that upgrade.
That upgrade was long before Lithium batteries became commonplace for RV systems.
At the time I installed the AGMs, no one have ever mentioned Lithium batteries.
My current AF camper (a 992) uses a pair of Battleborns that I took out of a Nash 17K I installed them in a year earlier, when I still had the 811.

There’s no problem getting a couple 200ah SLA 6v batteries in that tray or a 200ah 12v AGM.
Two group 31 AGMs were the easiest to install when I did the upgrade in my 811. Two smaller batteries are a lot easier to lift into the compartment that's at eye level than one large 200ah battery (which I never found when I was searching for battery upgrades 8 years ago)

...and actually fit with not modifications.
No mods were necessary to fit the group 31 AGMs.
I jettisoned the useless, "weight adding" tray which serves no practical purpose other than adding weight and taking up footprint space that prevents larger batteries from being used, and reduces vertical height making it more difficult to make my battery connections.
