Looking for input on economical 12v deep cycle batteries.

Replacing 2 12v deep cycle batteries for the RV. Almost never set up without 30 or 50 amp service. Would like to keep the cost at less than $180 for the pair. What suggestions/recommendations...

Look at an Interstate dealer's for an "Econo-Power" 27DC. I got one for less than half price of a new 27DC at Walmart, and it seems to be just as good when put in service.

If on full hook-ups that will get you by for years. If you have a trailer you do need a battery if you ever move (DOT Law) so your emergency breakaway will work, so you need some sort of 12v battery.
