Re: 4D Battery Deals?
If you've got a diesel those are both the starter batteries. They're just like any other car battery, except there are two. You're right you should replace them in pairs and you can replace them with any starter battery type that is the right size (both to fit in the battery cases and to have enough power for the engine). All that should be factory and any mechanic or battery store should be able to help.
The house side is separate, and used to power cabin lights, refrigerators, water pumps, heater blowers and other things. I have no idea what your build is, or even what your van is, but ideally these "house" batteries should be isolated from the starters, such that you don't get stranded by running down the starter batteries. There are a ton of discussions about both, or either, but I can see where the initial distinction might be unclear.
Hopefully that gives you enough clarification to search, otherwise you should provide more info about your van and why you think you need to replace the batteries.
