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...

I have used the same 2 WalMart Marine Deep Cycle batteries for the RV and the boat for 4-5 years.

I am glad they work for you, but those are not TRUE deep cycle batteries. They are dual purpose.

You could get two GC-2 (6 volt - 220-230 AH) deep cycle for about $180.

If you want cost effective, TRUE deep cycle batteries, you can not beat a pair of 6V golf cart batteries.
