Of all the RV's I've had, I've never had a TT. My FW would get batts charged via the truck when travelling. Isn't that the same with modern TT's? My point, if you are always going to be hooked up to power, why spend extra money for higher end batteries? Is this getting overly complicated? A simple 12v standard battery should work fine, shouldn't it? 2 in parallel should be plenty- even with a day without power provided good energy management.
it isn't. that's still old thinking, the cost of a 100AH Lithium is the same or only slightly more expensive than a ok flooded battery now. and when you figure the life span it is much cheaper than that flooded battery over the long run, even if you only keep that rv 10 years your saving money now. and if you are like me when you trade in that rv on a new one you move the lithium batteries over also the price of "A" grade 100AH cells has dropped so low now, I can probably build a 100amp battery for about 100 bucks if I don't use the expensive BMS brands, so companies are probably doing bulk deals and building them for 50-70 bucks. but the should be going up in price today thanks to teriffs.
