I haven't had much luck with either the Sam's Club or Costco brand 6 volt batteries. Both have only lasted about 3 years. I use my RV on average about once a month (2-3 day weekend).
My set of Sam's Club just went out after 33 months. I originally had 2-12 volts deep cycle batteries and replaced them with 2-6 volt batteries from Costco after a friend talked me into it (the 12 volts were still going strong). Almost immediately, I wasnt very impressed with the 6 volt conversion because I really didnt see much of a change in anything.
Now that another set has gone tits up, I will either pay extra for the Trojan T-105's or go back to the 12 volts? More than likely, it will be back to some 12 volt Deep Cycle Marine / RV type batteries as was OEM.
BTW..I have a very good installed battery charger (Progressive 55amp)in my RV and seldom let my batteries discharge too much. During times in between trips, they were always hooked up to a trickle charger or the RV built in charger (that says you can leave it on 24/7 with no worries)and fluids checked regularly.
I found some T-105 for $125.00 and the Costco brand are $90.00 Not much of a difference.
