Battery charging profile -Fleetwood Storm

My US Batteries 6V batteries need to be replaced. I read somewhere that the charging profile for US Batteries is unique. Is this true? I am planning to replace them with Trojan or Interstate. I do not see any specifications for the battery charger on the Fleetwood. Is it a smart regulator? Charging rate?

Thanks in advance.

All batteries are "unique"
Here are the specs the US Battery uses. Confirm model of your batts.
US Battery Charging specs

No comment on what year/model RV you have. FW generally has an ME-MR remote and a Magnum inverter.
Lots of settings available and I won't go into all those details. Very flexible. I use mine I lithium batts.
The MS 2012 inverter/charger comes with a 100A 4 stage ("smart") charger

My Storm is a 2002 and takes just 2 house batteries. I have 2 group GC2 batteries from NAPA (part# 8144) 6 volt.
I have only a converter in my MH but I start a generator at least once a day to recharge the batteries. I have an onboard generator as well as 2 Honda 2000 generators. I seldom use the onboard as the Honda generators are quieter and a little more economical to run. I normally run a generator when taking showers and leave it running until everyone has used the hair dryer.
When I am running the generator or plugged into shore power the house batteries will charge as well as the chassis battery. (1 12 volt battery)

I have a 2015 Fleetwood Storm and would like to know if it has a smart battery charger. Can I leave the unit plugger into my house current all winter without cooking my new barreries?
