phemens,
I would never go back to flooded jars. AGM's do charge to a higher percentage of full before amperage starts to taper. Cell count become important.
I'm waiting for my propane three way fridge to die so I can go to residential.
I'd jump all the way to 48 volts.
Consider using products from one "family" such as Victron, Outback, or Magnum. That way you may be sure everything "plays well together". Hybrid inverter/chargers are the "way to go".
I'm currently at an RV park with "weak" 30 amp power. So I'm using a sola basic autoformer with the load support feature of the Magnum 3012. Not a single over load of the shore power breaker. Water heater on electric, fridge, cooking and heating 100% electrically.
If you never rv in temperatures below freezing then consider LI jars.
