Lithium battery

Good morning all
I have a 2018 gemini 24tf. I would like to change the house batteries to lithium batteries. I wonder if I have to change the AC to DC converter/charger and also what happens with the load provided by the vehicle's engine. thanks for your answer.
Sylvain

Discussed at length in other threads. Use the search feature and try lithium upgrade or lithium mod.

Probably, unless the converter has a built-in setting to change battery types - not likely on your class C MH.

The increased charging load placed on the alternator may overload it. You will probably need to change to a LIBIM.

As Dave said, search the forum. This upgrade has been discussed several times and you may get an education from the found threads.
