Do some research and you will find that batteries at stores from Costco to autozone to napa etc. all come from just a few manufactures.  Labels don't change their origin or design.  Of course there is size and capacity classes of em but made by the same dudes.  I think there is 3 main manufactures.  People are hung up on brand names like Diehard etc. not realizing they can buy same Batt. with another label much cheaper at another store!!  Example:  Johnson Controls inc. makes Interstate, DieHard, Duralast, Kirkland, Everstart, Pro start, Optima, Advance autoParts, Ford, Dodge, Honda, Toy, Nissan, Isuzu, Acura etc etc.  Sooo, Do some research and save your $$$ people!!

Another tidbit of info.  If you buy a vehicle with a walmart batt. and it goes bad while under the warranty they will honor the warranty no questions asked.  My ford had ford motorcraft batts. which went bad within the warranty time.  I returned em to Ford dealer and they told me tuff I didn't purchase them myself.  The dealership I bought my ford put new ones in for me so I wasn't the buyer.  I thought it was a lowdown move from Ford and even talked with a manager who told me the policy is the policy.

  WALMART!!!

WALMART!!!   

Walmart cheapest with best warranty as said before. Got a bud that works at a TLE at Walmart; when I had a problem with one he said  that was a bad one and replaced it. They get theirs from the top US manufacture in the States.

So batteries are not all the same as you stated.
The majority of batteries available today are produced using recycled lead plates.  The good batteries, like Trojan's and Odysesy's to name two, utilize new pure lead plates.  So no, batteries are not the same.
AGM - Gel - Lead batteries are not all the same either.
Then there's amp hours, which is very important when buying RV batteries for those who dry camp, like I do.
And then there's discharge cycles that weigh into RV battery life.

So yeah, batteries are not all the same.  6 years and going strong with a pair of Trojan AGM group 31's in my RV.  Far outlasted the the 3 years of Interstate lead acid group 31's my RV previously had.
So pound for pound, amp hour for amp hour, lead for AGM and discharge cycle to discharge cycle, the added cost of the Trojans has already paid for themselves vs. the Interstate's.  And the Trojans have at least another 2-3 years of life left in them.
So, do your homework people.  You going to keep your RV, spend the money on good batteries.  You have a short term sell it plan, buy the cheapies, cuz not all batteries are the same......

Well you have my attention, in fact the interstates that I bought 3 years ago are the one's that have died on me!! I fully expected them to last at least 5 to 7 years like the last one's, not sure what brand they were. So where do I find the trojans??? Please leave me a PM, I'm going in the woods for the next couple days and I might forget to check this thread, damn memory is going.

I bought my Trojans at the former GI Goe's in Bellingham back in May '07 before they went in the tank and closed up.
They did cost me close to $500 for a pair. 
According to Trojan's website dealer locator, Battery Systems in Sumner is a dealer.
Give them a call and see what the going rate for a pair of G-31 AGM's are?  http://www.batterysystems.net/
Looks like Angler's Marine in Tacoma is also a dealer.
You buy AGM's, keep them on a tender when not in use.  I do not need too because I have a solar panel and that keeps them topped off.

You can keep your 500$ batteries!  Im poor.  The post did ask for cheap.  I will just return my 5year old camp battery to walmart when it dies for core and spend 90$.  Trojans are the next level and sound really good!  Ribbed for pleasure too!

Wal Mart is where I would go.

Oh sure, I should have read this yesterday, I just payed $138. (plus core charge) for a 3 year Bosch battery for my Ram from Pep Boys.

Just bought a pair of 6 volt US Batteries (brand) from Battery Systems in Sumner as someone else mentioned. Call them @ 253-826-4733. Seems like good guys to work with and prices are reasonable. They have Trojan and a couple other brands if you want to go that way.
Several people mentioned AGM batteries. Unless you need the no maintenance and no venting features of those batteries, they are a waste of money. If you have access to your batteries and they are outside a living compartment just use the flooded cell and save yourself the money. I just bought the 2 six volt batteries for what I paid for a single 12 volt AGM 5 years ago. Now have over twice the amp hour capacity to boot.
Tried to do a price compare with Wal-Marche but couldn't find a way to do it with their online page and didn't think it was worth a trip to a store to deal with it.

I bought 2 6 volts for my trailer last year at Costco. Think they were 83 a piece.
