Use in EVs for their drive motors is one thing, use in RVs for routine camping use is another thing.
I don't think 48 volts is worth it unless you start going above 400 amp hour capacity in lithium. When you get above that with lots of solar, you can start to really use some high draw appliances without thinking too much about it.
I agree that for the average RV'r or weekend warrior or someone who mostly stays at parks with hook ups, a large lithium 48 volt bank does not make much sense.
For the full timers or those out for months at a time that like to use high draw appliances or not worry about having enough juice, 48 volts and large amp hour lithium packs are the future. It's what advanced RV the class B maker is testing and moving towards now and what a lot of 'off grid' houses are using.
