Yes but its a stand alone company. The benefit to Winnebago is access to the technology. So I would guess that if I spec'd out Victron the price would increase over their private label.
My system is also from SES and is very similar to Neals. When I was researching and deciding exactly what I wanted, The 330 AH Victron's were lower $/AH than SES's house brand or Battleborn. However, Victron has a completely different type of construction than SES house brand or BB. To understand pros/cons and differences - Brian at SES is very knowledgeable. There are probably other guys as knowledgeable as him in the RV world, but I have not heard of them.
 
I went with reviews by people that actually use the batteries. Solar forums are full of them. I got a cheap Chinese battery for less then $200 when BB was $840+. It has been great. Now, I use my battery about like Neal, but that is about to change. I am heading to the Q next week and I have put together a solar setup and probably will need another battery. 930 watts of panel would be a waste with only 100Ah. A new 100Ah from the same company is $240 right now. It is an experiment and I will push them for testing purposes.
