This is a very expensive option and honestly not for everyone.
if you go from Park to Park and long stays at full hookup location this option doesn’t make sense. Old battery tech should be fine as long as you keep them watered and clean.
we enjoy using our coach in areas without full hookups, specifically local and regional Parks, Harvest Host, etc.
also, one of the big benefits to me is steady voltage during the discharge cycle and little to no maintenance. These batteries stay very clean.
is it a lot of money for these benefits, yes. To us , it is worth it.
just like our home which is solar powered. utility bill for electric is zero. And clean, reliable power for all my electrical needs
