Mid-Atlantic Battleborn Li-Ion Battery Installer
We live in Gaithersburg, MD, and are looking for a trustworthy (i.e., experienced and technically savvy) place to have our 2019 GD Reflection 303RLS fitted with a couple of Battleborn batteries as well as related equipment/changes such as an inverter. I called Battleborn today and got the names of three places (one in NJ and two in NC) but only one he was aware had done installations; Complete RV in Denver, NC. Has anyone had electrical system experience with Complete RV, or know of another place within a day's drive of the Washginton, DC area?

If you are up for it, it is worth learning how the systems work and how to do it yourself. You will have to troubleshoot stuff when on the road and that knowledge will save you some headache. I am in the middle of learning all of this stuff myself and doing my own install (in Northern VA)

Cookin':
I understand what you are saying, and I may end up doing it myself if as it seems, experienced installers are few and far between. I hoped to take advantage of someone who has already climbed the learning curve and understands not only how to do do things, but how best to do things. Also, it would be nice to have schematics, but I suppose a commercial installer wouldn't have those either. One engineer to another

I have been doing planning and research since June. I just started doing actual install. Feel free to reach out with any questions. There are some very good Facebook groups too.
