I'm still learning about these RV systems. It seems to me the converter would operate the 12VDC part of the system. Thanks

Frankly 2 6v or 12v will only get you by you chould consider if doing a battery upgrade to install 4 6v. That will also provide mild dry camp capability. Like overnite in a parking lot if needed.
Also note there are alot of GARBAGE batteries out there like the Interstate 6v that Costco sells
Here was my upgrade
For the OP I installed my 4 Trojans today removing the two 12v. As you can see the battery box barely fits but is doable. Even if you only buy two 12V you should still buy the 4 battery box so you can easily upgrade. You can just build a filler to take up the extra space.
As mentioned above I purchased 4 Trojan T105 Plus 225 AH $125 Ea no tax and no core required ($500 total )

I Just ordered the Watering system for $79 so they will for the most part be Maintenance free as I will gravity feed the system.
