Just curious - why Lithiums are so heavy?
100 AH, flooded, 66-69 lbs. 100 AH, Li, 29-31 lbs. Brain-dead sellers jumping on a new bandwagon, "One-fifth the weight of a traditional battery", yahooo.... More usable capacity, yes, but not...

Buy lead acid. Go camping
Buy lithium. Stay at home. Go to work. Pay for lithium.
Bet for 90% of RV'ers I can clean out cubbies and compartments and pile half a ton of their never used "necessities" on their driveway. I had a epiphany several decades ago that rudely shocked me awake. Like waist line blubber, excess weight takes a terrible toll on just about everything.
So, before I carry a one pound leatherman tool, and wristwatch that I never need to look at I spend a moment and ask myself "Do I really need to take this?"
Quicksilver, is a ten wheel bus with 11.00x22.5 tires. It can carry an immense amount of weight. To my chagrin, I found out it can carry SO MUCH things looked for remain lost until a major cleanout and inventory is conducted.
Battery weight is the least of my concerns. You mileage may vary...
