Actually many use two 6 volt batteries in series... Or four in series/parallel... In all cases providing 12v to the coach.

6v batteries tend to be more 'energy dense' and can provide more capacity in the same space.

Making the assumption that what is installed by factory is best option is probably not valid in MANY cases.... Batteries, power converters, TV's, etc all come to mind...

Some rigs do come with 6v batteries too.
