Welcome also.
Sam's Club has 6 volt batteries for less than $90 each.
Tires, what fits your budget and a name you can pronounce. I'm running Kelley's and I'm happy.

Our Interstate U-2200's lasted one month short of 10 years and even then I only changed because we were headed out for a trip and I didn't want trouble on the road.
I also added 4 oz of mineral oil to each cell of the batteries, almost completely eliminated corrosion and distilled water adding.
Our 2-950 CCA engine batteries were replaced a month or so earlier, then we found out the starter had a bad spot in the armature and it was the problem. I put 2-1000 CCA batteries in as I couldn't find 950's in the time we had.

Batteries
If you have a Costco nearby they have 6V golf cart batteries for a very reasonable price. I put in 4 of them 2 years ago and have been happy with them.

Depends on your budget same as the tires. Trojans have been the top performer for a long time but come with a high price tag. I'm rarely off the grid (120VAC) and budget limited so have two Sam's Club $80 Duracell GC2 6 volt golf cart batteries for the past two months. So far so good but only time will tell.

Trojan's 6v are what most end up.
As for tires, well that is a personal opinion. For us we have had Hankook's on all our toads and if they made them in 24.5's we would put them on the RV but alas they do not or did not the last time we checked when we needed some. Look at ALL brands and prices, research them and then decide how much you want to spend on them.
