Nothing special with the battery just a 12 or 6 car battery will do right. Sorry novice with batteries. tks again
Goodness gracious, we need to back up a bit. Short answer is NO, you can't just use any battery. Well you can, but the wrong type of battery won't perform correctly and won't last very long either.

If you go with FLA, it (they) need to be Deep Cycle batteries. Deep Cycle batteries are designed to be regularly deeply discharged using most of its capacity. A "starting battery" is designed to give the engine a lot of AMPs immediately, which is needed to start your engine.

Let me ask, what in the coach will be running on these battery's? Do you have an inverter too?
