With alternator delete the real issue is hours of driving. If you are going 60mph most of the time then 2 deep cycles will probably be plenty. I actually keep a spare in the stock position for unforseen problems. Or you could install an alternator kill switch and you will have a safety net.

Vancouver to Seattle on two crappy revived series 27: 123 miles, 70 mph, on arrival 60% discharged, 26mpg. EPA: 20 Border wait: 45 minutes.
