    Commercial Truck Batteries VS Deep Cycle Marine Batteries

    The previous owner of my Sundancer 290 (deceased) installed commercial truck batteries rather than deep cycle marine batteries. Any ideas why? Advantage / Disadvantage? I would think deep cycle marine would be a better choice for managing the "house" loads.
