Short answer, yes. The dealer was correct.
Marine batteries are wrong. Deep cycle batteries are correct for RVs.
Minimum 200 watts of solar should suffice, 300 or 400 I would suggest.
You HAVE to recharge the batts every day with a fridge. Solar will do this just fine.
If you plan to do a lot of boondocking then I would suggest getting true deep cycle batteries in 12 volt and getting more amp hours than the two golf cart batteries provide. 3 batteries at least, 4 would be plenty.
Running a fridge and a propane furnace will suck down the batteries, two 6v gc batts might be dead every morning. The furnace blower fan needs a lot of power.
Lights are pretty insignificant, but a fan running 24/7 needs to be part of the equation (though unlikely u run a window fan when you need to run a furnace as these are two different seasonal items).
Try to buy the new RV without a battery and get a discount.
Longer answer....
I have a DC fridge and propane furnace. The good part is that when i need the furnace it is cold outside, so the fridge benefits from this cooler air, especially if it is open to an outer wall, or vents to the outside, such that heating the RV does not heat the air that the fridge uses to cool off.
Mine is entirely inside. If I run both fridge and furnace I can make it til morning, but battery charge is much lower than I prefer, and running them low is worse than keeping them closer to full charge. My batts are over 6 yrs old (two gc 6v's).
I have 200 watts solar into an MPPT controller. I wish I had at least 300 watts, and wish I had a little more amp hours as the older batteries do not have the capacity as when new (consider this when doing the math).
With paired 6 volts I can't just add a 3rd battery, I would have to add two more paired 6 v's, and it is not good to match old batteries to new batteries in parallel. In series is fine as with two 6's, but two pair of 6's run parallel is not good if one pair is old and one pair is new. It just occurred to me I guess i could pair one old with one new then run those parallel... Has anyone tried this? If I lost you then no worries, it is not vital to understand the last part. The point being to just do it correctly right from the start and not have regrets.
If possible, add extra insulation to the fridge cabinet. This will be huge in reducing the run time of the fridge. I insulated mine and it runs less than half as much, and a side benefit is that it is very very quiet now.
