    Let local RV tech do the lithium?

    Knocking around the idea of ordering the 5.0 with just the two six volt batteries included, plus wiring for solar and lithium. Then getting a local RV tech to do a conversion when I want to go lithium and related inverter, etc. Just the lithium batteries alone on my build seem very high...

    Time to Level Up

    In my case, maybe yours too, the factory installed bubble level by the entrance door, adhered only by sticky back tape appears to adjust itself out of level, especially if it's warm outside.
