I would not go 24v. Too much confusion, already have 12v things that still work just fine, not any real advantage to be gained except in theory for scenarios never lived. YMMV
The big thing to decide is whether to go whole house on inverter using the shore cord plug- into the inverter trick, or go to some work and do it with transfer switches and sub panels and all that wiring business like some folks do.
With an inverter/charger you are pretty much into the sub-panelling and transfer switching where you have the built in transfer switch in the I/C plus the other transfer switch between gen and shore power if fitted. Then some more stuff about bonding that drives me crazy. I zone out when that starts on here. :)
I do the shore cord trick, have no transfer switches, and I don't have or care about bonding. But also I do not have a built in gen like many MHs do to make life more complicated.
