What's the best battery for a pop up. We have a coleman Niagra 04.  Want to use it for minimal use of the furnace for the cold nights.  Any thoughts?

Get the largest Deep cycle/rv-marine battery that will fit in your battery box.  Furnace blower will seriously stress your battery.  Running 2 6 volt golf cart type batteries in series is a popular dry camper option - more amp hours with these larger batteries.

How do the 6v Golf Cart batteries compare size-wise to the standard deep cycle batteries?
