It has come time to change out the house batteries on my 04 dolphin. We do not do any dry camping, so do I need to go back with two 6volt batteries or can I use just one 12 volt battery? Are there ant good deals on house batteries that ya'll know of? Thanks Gayle

I just replaced my 2 6v house batteries in my 2000 SeaView with 2 6v Deka batteries that cost me $86 each. They get good reviews and are good looking batteries.

Sounds like a good deal Charlie, now let's just hope the work as good as they look.

The most bang for the buck would probably be two 6 volt golf cart batteries from Sam's Club...at least you're getting true deep cycle and should last a long time.

What about using a Battery Minder type device that keeps a constant trickle charge on the batteries when the coach is not being used. Would those help extend the replacement period.
I have 4 trojans and I am not looking forward to replacing them $$ wise.

Will two 12V golf cart batteries fit...which can be connected parallel for a neater and simpler package...not sure what they cost.
