In addition to what was said above, you really only get about 50% of the rated amp hours out of a lead acid battery - and if drained too low, it's toast. With LiFePO4, nearly 100% of the rated amp hours are available and they have 1,000s of charge cycles in them over their lifetime. One caution: with a travel trailer and the battery stored on the tongue, you'll need to be careful about the battery charging in very cold temps. To get around this, you can buy a heated battery, put a thermostatically controlled heating pad around it, remove the battery during the winter, or move it inside the trailer (they don't need to be vented). We have four 100 AH Battle Born batteries in our fifth wheel to operate the residential refrigerator (via an inverter) while traveling or during power outages and they are great. We love them.
