Earlier this summer we installed two Trojan T-105's (6v batteries). They were alot better than the group 24 battery that came with the TM, but they were starting to wind down after 3 nights of very frugal use (no heater, sparing lights at night). They were still working fine but dropping towards the 12.2V point per my voltage meter and I didn't want them to go much lower without recharging. We brought along the other 12v battery, and that only lasted one night before it dropped down.

The next step for us will be (probably) a solar panel to charge up with. One of those small Honda generators wouldn't be bad, either. One of the campers next to us last trip had one, and it was much quieter than most.
