Why are they still selling RV's with one battery?
Dealers don't know any better, and don't care about your off-grid use.
Manufacturers don't care either. RVs are poorly suited for offgrid living (not just a battery, it's a long list, I don't want to start on it now), - and this isn't going to change any time soon. They deliver RV to dealers without a battery.
Dealer adds - at your cost - what they call a "starter kit" that includes a tiny battery, cheap drain hose and a roll of toilet paper. I told him to keep all this and give me some discount because was planning to use 3*100 AH AGM, a better drain hose and a regular toilet paper since "RV paper" doesn't dissolve any better than a household kind.
