I am very impressed especially since I am considering this exact same changeover. I had just spoken to a gentleman that has a new Marathon coach and he said they did the changeover for him at the factory in Eugene and charged him $36,000 more, claiming that there was some type of box to prevent overcharging of the batteries that added the extra cost. I'm not so sure about that, seems like a bit of gouging to me.
I had chatted with a gentleman from Lithionics a year or two ago and he stated it should only cost around $8,000 but your price and the fact that as the technology gets used more the price comes down, sounds much more acceptable now.
I'll be very interested to follow your progress and your opinion of the changeover. It certainly seems like the way of the future. I spoke to one owner that has made the change and he said he loves it. No more float or intermediary charging. If the price is the same, this seems like a no brainer. The batteries should have the same or longer lifetimes?
