I had 6-volt batteries in my boat last 8 years before they had to be replaced.
The draw back with 6-volt batteries is their weight. They will weigh close to 65 pounds EACH that's just more tongue weight, a lot of tongue weight.

I'm not a gd owner yet but i do have experience with travel trailers. The biggest improvement to our rig was the two 6volt golf cart batteries (wired to make a 12 volt system) and replacing all the light bulbs with led's. Before that i was lucky to make 1 night and a day before running the generator all day to recharge the battery. Now, 4 days and 4 nights, easy !!!! Be sure your converter is in proper working order

Hello,
I’ve owned Keystone, Jayco, and now Grand Design. Bottom line, I won’t own a Keystone again. GD is definitely a better quality unit and a better thought out design regardless of what unit you buy.
Two batteries are always better than one. They can be used in parallel or individually if needed for a specific application.
Cheers!Last edited by basingers4; 09-28-2019 at 02:50 PM. Reason: Thought of something else to say.

We live in Oregon and had a 2016 Keystone Impact Fuzion 312. Yes, it had delamination issues to the tune of $6240 just to get the sidewall bubble out (all paid for by us, it was out of the 1 year warranty). We now have a 2020 Grand Design Reflection and LOVE it! I feel its manufactured better quality vs. our Keystone and certainly much more upgraded options. GD is also known for having much better customer service for repairs and warranty work etc. Never had a Cougar though so can't really compare models.

Two batteries
We bought a Grand Design 2500 rl and looked at maybe 100 different makes and models over a 6 month period in our search for a camper. Lots of manufacturers are using residential refrigerators that do not work off of gas. One of the dealers told us the extra battery was to run a 110 volt inverter for the fridge when boondocking and would be enough juice to power the fridge for three or four days.

Clear Creek used to carry Keystone (I live about 8 miles away). Now they carry Grand Design. My sister and her husband have a Cougar. We have a Grand Design. In our own instance, the GD is a much better unit.
Paul Evert's in Tacoma also carries Grand Design. They have several relatively close stores so you may find something on one of the lots.Last edited by SF-SGM; 09-28-2019 at 06:44 PM.
