There was a post on the "Technology" forum about the Hype on how fast the battery-bank on this unit would recharge, and length of time for running air-conditioner, etc.
Since the RV in use is around one year, even numbers quoted at around 1/2 the hype may be grossly over-rated.
A major cost to consider is battery-bank replacement. Are the batteries going to last 10 years like T-105's (220 AH)? Not likely. Even 2 to 3 years may optimistic until we see what happens two years from now to current owners.
Some people have a real fear of propane use in RV's. They are the likely customers for all-electric. The RV could be used mainly on electric-sites but most B owners likely plan on more boon-dock camping (no shore-power).
The OP needs to check into high initial cost and battery replacement costs to see if this model fits their needs. As we all know being "first" to have new technology costs a lot more money and disappointment in the claims is more likely, until time allows getting rid of the "bugs".
