Depending on what your power needs are, something like the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium - 12V - 60 Amps # PD9160ALV or the 80 Amps # PD9180ALV. These converter/chargers are designed for lithium batteries and changes AC shore power to DC power to quickly charge your RV batteries; plus, they can be wired either in series or parallel with another PD9100 series unit for larger applications if needed.

There is also a 30 Amp version- the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger - Lithium - 12V - 30 Amps # PD9130LV. Any of these would be great upgrades to get your 2018 Airstream Bambi ready for lithium batteries.

I've linked a review video on these charger/converters for you to have a look at.
