Today I made the investment and purchased (2) Interstate 6V batteries (hope the Interstates are good). I've always wanted to use two instead of one battery for the coach. I bought early this year the 3 batt tray from Jim K. I'll install it hope soon.
We often dry camp. I upgraded to all LED lighting inside the Coach, and just use the water pump from time to time. Our frig runs on propane.

I was wondering if anyone does much dry camping in the cold. Why? I was wondering just a approx how well the (2) 6v hold up under the load of the Propane Heater Cycling on/off. I'm really excited about having more power reserve.

If I could squeeze in another question. Does anyone run 2 batteries for their starting battery? I know of the concerns, but was wondering if anyone here does use to of course not in series!
