LiPo's at this time are a whole lot of expense (10 times the cost of flooded cell Lead/Acid) for a rather marginal benefit in charging times, life.
I fly model planes powered by batteries.
Started out with NiCad, progressed through NmHi, now use LiPo. Each change resulted in a great advantage in power to weight (much more important in a plane than an RV). I suspect within a few years, LiPo for an RV (and more general use) will make sense, but at this time, its just a cute idea looking for a sale.
