Lithium Battery Charging System
It is time for a new battery in my '04 Lance 921. I am looking at an Interstate battery they sell up the road. But through my research into charging systems/problems, I got to thinking about Lithium...

your about 4 years old with thoes prices, you can cut the battery prices in half or more now days. unless you insist on buying battle born (which theres nothing wrong with if thats what you want, but quality can be had for a lot less today) . my charging system cost me nothing, just a switch of a jumper on one and a different programing on the other.. I had to replace my power centre in my old camper anyways so I bought one that was LFP compatable, and I did the same when I decided to add solar. My 5th wheel will probably cost me about what you said for charging as I have to change my converter and my solar charger but it will only be about 12-1500 bucks for around 900AH of battery.
You can cut the prices in half by buying inferior products, those prices were taken from a direct lookup of the current Battleborn battery prices.
Anything else is cheap chinese junk and at risk of a cell failure and fire risk.
I honestly don't have a horse in the race, as I do not think the technology is ready yet to adopt at its current price points for all but those that like to experiment with new things, (A proper full disposal cost should be included in the purchases of all lithium batteries from my point of view including the cost of 90-95% component recycling), nor do I honestly care if you go cheap and end up burning your rig to the ground to save a few dollars, I can only offer up advice to not take cheap shortcuts and let folks decide what degree of risk is acceptable to them.
TL;DR I don't give two ***** if you decide to cheap out and kill yourself, I can only suggest that you don't.
