Sounds like you are doing just fine. Only thing better would be some lithium batteries ;)
The industry average cost curve makes them uneconomic in my opinion. I suspect RV turnover is a multiple of the breakeven, if one looks at the economic argument for lithium. I someone going to pay me their residual value when I sell my used RV every 4 years? It's laughable to think so, from what I know of the market.
I think if one is an avid hobbyist or has a material weight issue, then falling on the knife for $10,000 in lithium might make sense.
I think I'll pass.
$10,000 might stretching it more like $4,200 to equal what you have.;)
With what the AGMs cost maybe $2,000+ difference.
Maybe. I was recalling the pricing I did in like April 2016, but that was the total price, not the marginal difference. Perhaps lithium is more cost effective now. I think lithium was like 2.4X what I paid for the fullriver AGMs, but maybe I'm off.
