Dave, are you sure - these 6-volt golf cart batteries have an awesome storage capacity.

Deep cycle 12V 24M (Interstate)

Reserve Capacity @ 25A = 140 minutes

6-Volt Golf Cart (Interstate)

Reserve Capacity @ 25A = 474 minutes

Two Golf cart batteries would have a combined reserve capacity of over 948 Minutes @ 25A! Even if cut in half to account for 12V, that is a huge advantage over a single 12V deep cycle battery.

I would agree 4 would be better for boondocking, but so would 6, or even 8. As I understand it, 2 6-volt golf cart batteries outperform even 2 12-volt deep cycle batteries. Am I reading that wrong?
