You may also enjoy reading what this couple has been doing. It appears a little more current (no pun intended) to me.

Living the Lithium Lifestyle – 3.5 Year Lithium RV Battery Update | Technomadia

In the future RVs will likely keep moving towards lithium batteries to lower weight and allow much faster charging (from engine alternator or generator) so I find their information of greater value to me.

And while it won't help those here trying to upgrade an existing system, I do agree that a 48-Volt DC system, if starting from scratch, makes more sense.

For vehicles with second engine-driven alternators dedicated to power the house, it makes little sense to me to keep a 12-Volt system.
