Battery Bank/ Inverter Question
My goal is to build a semi-portable system to transfer between my house and my trailer. I have twelve 285W Silevo solar panels four of which I will be mounting on the trailer and eight for the house....

You are really making things complicated for yourself. I'd just use a 24v inverter in the RV. Trying to pull 12v out of a 24v bank is asking for trouble. The bank will get out of balance very quickly, shortening it's life.
I take it you're going to move the charge controller, batteries, and inverter back and forth between the RV and house? I hope not often. That's a lot of work to do it once. I can't imagine doing it several times. Why not leave it all in the RV and fix up a plug to connect the additional 8 panels on the house when the RV is parked there. You can then plug in whatever home load you were going to power to the RV system as it sits there.
