Yep, and I can’t figure out why, when Offerup is also an option and has a better interface, not to mention the local well-established side of eBay. I have seen Class Bs listed on Marketplace that...

Some of them were too generic to survive. I don’t know why I would consult with any forum that has a name like “RVnet” or similar. The signal-to-noise ratio I would expect to be awful.

There are effectively two different scenarios under consideration here, so let’s articulate them:

As for the cassette-style lithium, I would dearly love to scrap everything I’ve got and just roll the EcoFlow DeltaPro in there and run the whole danged van off that.

We have 300 Ah, so by that math, it’s $810 plus tax and shipping. So yeah, I’m out a grand every time they need to be replaced.
