I've been using Walmart batteries for years in my fifth wheel (27DC) and in vehicles. Everybody had warned me away from them, especially mechanics wanting to sell me their preferred shop brand. However, I've gotten good service from them, with the exception of one 27DC that was dead when new and exchanged with no problem.
I had do warranty claims on three different high end batteries supplied by my favorite repair shop. One was in a Dodge Intrepid, where the battery was located in the fender well of the car, and unpleasant to remove. After that mess I switched to buying low cost batteries at Wal-Mart or the big national auto part stores, and haven't had a problem in ten years.
