I can't read the battery label too well, but I don't see any amp-hour rating nor any indication that it's anything other than a starter battery, which is not the best for your application.

If this is for running lights, etc in a trailer when camping you should have a deep cycle battery. If that battery is being sold as a battery that would be used to start engines it is not a deep cycle battery.

This 904D battery is a starting battery according to Deka's data. It weighs 99 lbs.
It does not seem suitable. Have you determined how many AH you will need?
