Just stumbled across this forum as we are researching upgrading our camper to lithium. Our camper will start production soon and we are deciding if it would be worth it to pay for an additional upgrade. Our current option we selected has the dual battery 6v 225ah over the standard 75ah. Because we went with the Hawk Side Dinette the only two higher options I see would be going with a single lithium 135ah or the dual lithium 270ah. We are not full time campers, we will probably spend a week or two out on the road a year and the rest of the time would be extended weekends. My wife does want the ability to work on the road if needed which requires powering a laptop and a full size monitor. Plus, we have Starlink. I would only be looking at upgrading to a single lithium with the plan of adding a second later down the road. Trying to minimize all the expenses with paying for a camper on top of the truck we just bought.
Here is also what is provided upgrading into Lithium batteries.
REDARC BCDC -- (25 amp DC/DC 3 stage battery charger)
Upgraded Wiring
Upgraded Breakers
Victron Energy Blue Smart Charger IP22 -- (12V / 30amp /1 output)
If you had the opportunity to upgrade, would you? I don't see a new management system offered for our camper like the front dinette so not sure why that is, but I do like the Redarc display over the MPPT controller. I know woodworking but clueless with electronics so hoping I can get some insight. Sorry for the first long winded post, look forward to learning from this forum and sharing any info I may have.
