OP - You really were never clear on your usage. Thus you see from high end Lifeline AGM's to Sam's or Costco 6V wet cells.
If not dry camping often, and do not mine maintaining water levels, the Sam's and Costco 6V are usually post economical way to go.
If you want extra capacity, sill OK with maintaining water levels, and have the headroom - then the Trojan T125's and T145's picks you up more capacity and yeah at higher price.
If you want to remain in the moderate/medium price point, and do not want to maintain water levels. Then AGM 6V or 12V available, do come in Deka, Fullriver, Etc. brands.
If you want potentially (all depends upon care) longer life batteries. Then Lifeline/Concord/Rolls are some brands that usually provide longer lives and depending on specific battery, higher capacity too.
I also feel you were give good advice to check your specific charger in your unit. If it is not a quality three stage charger. Adding an independent stand alone charger, especially while in storage for longer period of maintenance, and auto de-sulfating unit too, could give you more peace of mind on your batteries.
Lots of ways, and different levels, of ways to spend your money:)!
Best of luck to you,
