I,m sure there will be a lot of comments & suggestions on this one.
Not knowing  what your line up of accessorys is that you want to run &/or the time frames & methods of recharging are makes it a tall order.However do not combine gel & lead acid together in the same system.

Again ,how much battery capacity do you need ? verses how much space you have as a bank of 6volts can give you more amp. hrs.

Then there is the dollar factor, how many you want to spend. I would suggest you do your figures on what you need to power up & talk to a good battery supply centre.

We bought our Toyota Coaster LWB in September last year and she is a beauty.
1991 model with only 185,000 on the clock and only converted into a motorhome 2 years ago.

We love it!!!smilesmilesmile
