Need New Battery, Auto Or Deep Cycle

I never camp off grid so my battery is just to say I have a battery, so I'm not worried about draining & charging over & over. When in storage the trailer is always plugged in. Is it cheaper & does it make sense to just stick a same size automotive battery in or is there some reason I'm not thinking of that says I should have deep cycle?

    I would not use an auto battery, although if always plugged in, it may work. An RV/marine battery is a better choice than auto, and similar in price. You don't really need a true deep cycle for your use.
