Nope.lifepo4 don't like to be charged to 100% at least for storage--which is where most RV's are.
It is academic for me--as I need -40 temperature tolerance and only one LI chemistry that can do that. So I'll be going SiO2

Nothing about it being "bad", they just might last a bit longer. "Bad" is storing a battery with zero charge as that will damage the battery.
Most RV's have parasitic loads that are constantly drawing power even while in storage. While my camper sits in the driveway each day the solar panels will give it a charge and each night the loads will suck some energy out.
Back on topic: some users will employ a DC-DC supply on their truck charge line to step up the voltage to at least 13.6V or 14.2V-14.6V so that their LiFePo4 battery can be charged while driving.
