   It costs big $$$ for anything that's not traditional lead/acid chemistry. Lead/Acid works fine for the price. The best bang for the buck would be 2 deep cycle golf cart batteries ( 6 Volt  X 2) .  Spending more money for Li-Ion or Ni-Mh would be money thrown away in my opinion.
Personally I have 2 X 12 volt standard lead acid dual purpose (starting/deep cycle) batteries, the kind that are almost universally standard equipment for travel trailers. WHile they wouldn't last as long as true deep cycle batteries, they get me through 4 days without charging if I don't have to run the furnace much.

	Lithium chemistry is perfect where weight is the driving factor, like electric model airplanes/helicopters/drones. The cost doesn't make sense for campers.

	An RV is not the venue for Lithium Technology. Just like it isn't used for starting batteries in cars.

	How about lithium batterys for your camper. All my cordless tools have them and they work great.
