I recently fought through fitting two 6 volt golf cart batteries in my 5er and what a huge difference.
Last year I remote camped at the same place with friends and had to run my generator everyday to keep my batteries up and my small electric freezer frozen - this year I left the freezer at home and I also replaced all my light bubs with LED's and camped a full 10 days and the batteries were still showing green on the meter....
I am impressed with the difference - I also ran my small 300 watt inverter to charge my laptop everyday with no issues....
Additionally I bought a small marine bilge pump and two 7 gallon water jugs and could easily add water to my RV, I could hook to the batteries or the easier method was to just take my portable 12 volt jump pack out and hook to that.
I got the batteries at Costco for about a $100.00 a piece - WOW - make the change it is worth it...
