RV Deep Cycle Battery
I have a DEKA DC24 12 volt batter in trailer right now that is 7 years old and getting weak. Has anyone had good luck going with the Walmart Deep Cycle Battery. They would be easy to replace if go bad...

WalMart batteries are made by the same few battery makers everybody else sells.
Not quite. There are makers that allow re-branding like Deka sold at Basspro or Sam's club, and it's easy to find out the "real" name. And there are makers that don't allow re-branding - but there can be knockoffs from China of course.
Also, as somebody noted, when it says "marine", it usually means - a hybrid of deep cycle and starter battery. The only decent hybrid I know is Optima.
So... Since this is a flooded battery anyway, do what somebody suggested - get a pair of 6V GC.
Edit - PS: Have just looked at that item in the link above. It doesn't tell any amp-hours, so my semi-educated guess would be that this is more a starter battery. The review is "funny" indeed. I wouldn't try and read too much into it.
