As far as the maintenance free battery i have two optima battery in my Montana. Everything works great and had no problems. They are probably over kill for the price. Especially if u r not going self contained. Standard group 24 maintence free should be fine. Just purchase a decent brand name. Interstate, exide etc.
And as far as the other issue with the gas detecter chirping and landing gear not moving i would check and make sure the converter is charging first. Multimeter on battery approx. should read 13-14.2 volts. If its not check fuses and such and that your 110v cord is plugged in correctly and that the breaker has not tripped in the house or something stupid. 2 years to me is a little soon to be replacing what i aasume is a deep cycle battery. But its possible. Hope some of this help.
