3) or if you dont mind spending more and want maintenance free, then two 12V AGM batteries, wired in parallel (+ two 2/0 awg cables..)
There is tons of information out there about different batteries and it really depends how you want to use your RV (dry camp, minimize gen useage, add inverter to use 110V things, etc.)
There are also many more opinions than facts out there, which this is just one...

I have the same question thought I have an ACE with two 12 v batteries now. They need replacing. What do I do?
