Gary, You got your help from the right place. Rick and Ben at Coachworks are THE best. As they no doubt told you a deep cycle battery isn't the best choice for a starting battery.
As to the float charger, don't be too hasty in eliminating it. While the one she has may not be the right one, a battery "maintainer" will give a significantly longer life to a little used battery. I have been using a Battery Tender http://batterytender.com/rv.html with a light weight gel cell Odyssey battery http://www.odysseybattery.com/ in my airplane for years. It is a very reliable option. The main advantage of a battery maintainer is that it keeps the battery warm with a very small trickle charge which prevents freezing and promotes a longer life. Something to consider.
