Depends on the specific battery. CCA has nothing to do with it. You have to look at the RC (reserve capacity) or AH (amp hour) specs.
The best batteries I know of, for your truck have 150 minutes of RC.
At a 2 amps draw, one battery will be dead in 31 hours.
So, with two batteries, it will be around 60 hours, i.e. around 5 days.
Note that if you do that, you will ruin the batteries pretty quick. They are not built to be that deeply discharged and live full lives.
For your horse trailer, you ought to have separte deep cycle batteries - hooked to a relay so your truck charges them when driving.
One pair of 6 volt Trojan T-105s - hooked in series - will give you 225 amp hours at 12 volts. That will give you 2 amps for over 100 hours - i.e. over four days.
