I have been looking more closely at the Tacklife website:-

You will need to check that you are not being overcharged at checkout.
Having read the specifications I think I would go for the T8 Max for which Amazon's price is £92.99
I tried to buy it on Tacklife's website but this is what I got:-

Hi Euan,
good to hear that worked ok. The link to the actual product doesn't seem to work for me. As I also have the exact same motorhome and problem, could you post what you actually bought as it sounds perfect for me.
Cheers

Ok just used the unit in anger for the first time, as the motorhome battery was completely dead.
The instructions say to check its 100% charged, but as the vehicle is stored offsite I didn't get the chance to check first.
On switching on the unit it was showing 78% charged, and it started the van first time from a completely flat battery so I'm pleased with the result
The van engine is a Fiat Ducato 2.3L multijet diesel, and with one jump the unit showed a drop to 51% which suggests you probably get 3 possibly 4 goes at starting a flat battery from full charge.
Instructions suggest some batteries might need connected to the unit for 20-30 seconds before attempting to start, so I suppose the drop in charge level would also depend on how long you have it attached to the battery terminals before attempting to start the engine ?
Anyway, I'm pretty pleased with that
Motorhome now back at home and to my CTEK MX10 so a pretty good result all round.

Hi, this is the one I bought, but as you said, all the Amazon links show it out of stock, or unavailable.
I’ve had a look elsewhere, apart from Fleabay, so it might be worth a look on there https://gadgetviper.com/dbpower-portable-car-jump-starter-review/"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I have the Noco BoostPro GB150 and it's leterally a monster.

It's not cheeper but it's a professional durable tool and it has power enough for our 2,7 or 3 liters diesel enginesDiscovery 5 tdv6 HSE Corris Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition IID Pro MV License
Nothing wrong with the Tacklife, yet, and it's had a couple of years to go wrong.
With the benefit of hindsight I would pay more and buy a Noco GB70 @ c.£200 with a hard case.

I know this is a fairly old thread but I thought this would be an appropriate place to put this.
If you have Amazon Prime, you can get the NOCO GB70 for £139.99.
You can also get it for £132.99 if you buy a £50 top up first.
Make sure to register for the offer first before you buy the top up.
