I haven't any interest in doing so because of price. One thing I do know is that you will need a different charging system that conventional RV converter. In fact, PD makes one that is compatible with Li batteries. You'll also need to have the solar charging integrate somehow with the Li battery charging management system. This is not an "install new lithium batteries and charge" situation.
Both Battle Born (100Ah) and StarkPower (125Ah) Li-Ion claim they are drop in replacements for standard flooded batteries, although they do say if you can change the charge profile in your setup you should. Yes they are pricey, especially the StarkPower ones, but when you look at the amount of additional available power, faster recharge time, lower weight and longer lifespan it can all balance out in the end. Just depends on your camping style and your own life cycle cost analysis. Seems to me if your camping style leans towards dry camping then a Li-Ion upgrade is something to seriously consider.
