I have a question for RoadTrek CS owner, the new refrigerator (7CF) is listed as 12v and 110V. The CS model has propane but it looks like the Ref is power from the batteries and invertor when driving...

" they are tested to be drained down to nothing without risk of lowering the life of the battery." Did he say if they passed that test?
I think you will find a lot of disagreement with that statement.
The web site shows a life of 400 cycles when taken to 20% state of charge which is pretty typical. Life would almost certainly be much higher at lower discharges.
Sales folks throw out a lot things that are a bit of a stretch.
Don't take those very expensive batteries flat, or you will kill them early. The lower the discharge, the more cycles you will get. Most find 50% to be the best balance of life vs capacity.
