Thanks Chris - It DEFINITELY did help. I have put all items on my list on Amazon and will tackle them one by one (though I already did the USB, TV and RearCamera (wired one)). I will certainly install Aili and additional battery as per your instructions. Just trying to decide to stick with AGM or jump to Lithium.
Everyone is going to have their own personal opinion about Lead Acid/AGM vs Lithium. If you are like me, I tend to add WAAAAY more stuff to the RV then is actually warranted vs the times I actually go out in the RV....LOL. I guess it's just kinda fun to tinker around. Regarding batteries, my opinion has been that cheap lead acid batteries from Walmart seem to last for a reasonable amount of time and when they go bad it costs me less than $200 to buy two brand new ones. AND, once I add solar I expect that the batteries will last even longer because they will have a much lower chance of ever getting below 50% SOC and even if they do they will get charged back up the very next day.
I would personally never spend $800-$1000 per Lithium battery. To me, the value does not seem to be there.
