Trav’ler isn’t a hard Install. It’s actually pretty simple. I did one by myself on my last trailer. The only reason why I had the dealer install it when I purchased the 32DS was because it would be...

From how I understand it, no. Because the batteries are self balancing and lithium batteries have no “memory” and each battery is self-contained, it should be fine.

But don’t mix lead acid and...
