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

Sorry, don't read this forum that frequently.
The system I'm presently installing are definitely not drop-in ready. These are 4 individual cells + a BMS that must be connected together. Not a big problem but does require some wiring skill and knowledge.
I'll be using my existing inverter to charge but may need to change out the voltage regulator for my engine alternator since my system will be so large it could fry my alternator. Even after all of that the total cost will be the same as AGM's. I'm replacing six 8D batteries.
I bought the cells and BMS from www.balqon.com
Sorry but I don't plan to document the install here since there are too many naysayers and I don't have the time or patience to deal with that.
This technology is still pretty much experimental for RV's. But if people don't jump in and test the waters then it won't become mainstream.
