for making your own you can build a 280 usable AH for about 600 bucks now. to get that in deep cycles batteries you probably over 1000 for high quality and about the same in cheep on sale (these prices are CDN).
other advantages besides price now days is weight that would be about 46LB and it would give me more capacity than the 240lbs of 6V I have now that only have 235AH usable. also the size, this one Li battery is the side of one of the 6V batteries. so 1/6th the weight and 1/4 the size.

Do the LiPo4 batteries require a special charger? If so, you should include the price of that item also.
its kind of a mute point. unless you custom order your camper the charge in 90% of the campers shouldn't be used anyways. they are starting to get better but they will still kill your battery faster than a good one. the first thing I do is put in a proper 4 stage charger in anything I buy. so with a LiFePo4 I will just put in a proper 2 stage instead, or if you have one that is already Li compatable (which I have seen a few factory ones) your already good, just have to flip the button.
