Hi furyous68,
losses going from 24 to 12 are negligible as the 12 volt needs are tiny. It might be good to jump right to 48 volts. I wish I had done so before I got the large hybrid inverter.
2 six volt, 4 six volt, or 8 six volt, but not 6 six volt.
Or you can use 12 volt as I did--particularly if a large inverter may be used.
Wiring is important.

Ok... back on topic-
It appears that swapping to a couple 24v batteries in parallel with a 24v-12v step-down converter between the batteries & the RV's converter is possible, but not the most efficient system. From what I've read from pianotuna's solar articles... running 4-6 deep-cycle 6v batteries in parallel/series seems to be the way to go. It would probably be a lot easier to set up, & give me way more amp hours in the long run?
