Ok so why is the video flawed?

From your first post:

this video is pretty decient on how to do it, what is missing is some sort of case. the Prismatic cells like to be clamped togeather slightly if you going to be running high currents. I have seen cases made out of wood with threaded rod providing the pressure, and several other ways also.

also I am not a fan of the BMS he uses, there are lot better ones, but he explains he needed the high capacity one to do a torture test on the cells.

Your words. I find your comments are often flawed. I'm sure you feel the same way about mine.

because he is testing and not building a case you think it is flawed? ill tell you what I'll get a different link for you so you can understand it.

here is a different guy who is spicificly building for an rv. keep in mind shipping prices have come down even more since his videos. he does a build with added redundency which is actualy a neet way to do it.

here is one using premade battery boxes. of course this is going to depnd on the size of cells you get.
