Has anyone ever heard about using lithium batteries in a RV?

I transport my LiPo's in an ammo can and charge them in a ceramic lined vault!
Here is why!
LiFe batteries are reported to be much safer.

there is a difference between the Lipo's in your RC stuff, and the LifePo4's.
Fwiw, I plan on using this BMS when I put my cells in my trailer. It has cell level over and under voltage protection, and will add about $150 to the pack cost. With the high voltage cutoff relay, you can use any old charger that you already have. When any individual cell reaches 3.6v, it kills power to the charger. LifePo4's are actually much easier to manage from a charging point of view than lead acid.
I use their other BMS right now in my car, and have been very happy with it.
