Most RV batteries are Deep Cycle type. Deep cycle batteries are lead-acid battery capable of being regularly discharged using most of its capacity in the process. Deep cycle batteries also have thicker plates inside the case. Normal car batteries will not discharge to the level or last as long as a deep cycle battery.
As to how long it will last (lifespan) also depends on usage. Deep cycle batteries can be stored (fully charged) up to 12 months and only lose 25% of their capacity. Again depends on age of battery. Most RV's have a system where the deep cycle (RV) battery is constantly charged when the engine is running and most too will have a battery charge indicator on a control panel inside the RV itself.

Could not find reference to my RV battery so I picked one up with high amp power at Costco. I am sure it is not the same as original. Will it damage my RV?
No, it will not damage your RV. If it fits the available space, it will be good to go. A very high cold crank amp rating is necessary for an RV because of the large engine and the liklihood that the vehicle will go long periods without being started. However, you should always check the size rating (printed on the old battery) and look at the manufacturer's website to help find the correct battery. There are many sizes and several different types of terminals and it is important to get the right one.

Battery isolation circuits are available at most RV supply stores.
