Hi,
Yes, 48 volts is better. For stationary banks, where they don't travel with you, it is a no brainer. For traveling banks it requires twice as many jars. 8 are a lot harder to find cargo capacity and a good location than 4.
To use 48 or 24 a good dc to dc converter may be the best route to go, rather than redoing all the electronics in the RV. 2oldman uses 24 volts and has such a converter.
I found room for seven batteries, which is another reason I stayed with 12 volt jars.

I've thought about 24volt but have been told 48 is where it's at for bigger battery stores
