  1. My apologies for not responding sooner! This is an amazing community and I am overwhelmed by the number of responses! I am leaning towards committing to the Pro Lithium package as the Oliver, while not our first RV, is likely our last. Besides better off grid capability I think it may increase its value when it goes on the market someday in the future.
  2. Hi All, New guy here with a delivery date on an Elite2 in September. My wife and I are scheduled for a factory tour second week in April at which time we need to finalize our various options. The only option I need to resolve is the electrical system... basically the issue of whether to go Lithium or not. I watched this video by Tom Morton, that clearly supports the choice of a LiPo system, both from a technical as well as financial, (long term), perspective. I am a mechanical engineer, (not quite retired), and the data that Tom presents is very compelling. My hesitation is the cost. $9500 for the least expensive version! I have priced various LiPo batteries, inverters, solar panels, etc., which accounts for maybe half or a little more of the $9500. I have been self employed for most of my life and I understand the need to make a profit, but this option feels more like "profiteering" since this is basically upgrading components in the standard system. Just wondering if I am missing something here. I know the price is the price in the end and there is substantial work to upgrade later, which I prefer to avoid. Is this system over priced? I welcome any comments from fellow Ollie owners who have gone with the factory LiPo, (or not). Thanks!
