I suspect the 400 volt level was chosen as a match for a 240 volt inverter, since the peak of 240 volts RMS is ~340 volts. A 200 volt battery would be a better match for the 120 volt inverters used in RVs. Since the inverters we now use have to first step the voltage up to at least 170 (for PSW), a high voltage battery would eliminate the efficiency loss of the voltage step up.
