6v or 12v?
All else being equal, which is preferable and why? 2 220 AH 6v batteries or 2 110 AH 12v batteries

Additionally though, I would really like to see a fuel cell system to replace the nearly unused generator. A propane powered fuel cell would dramatically increase efficiency
Right on -> about an automatic-top-up propane powered fuel cell system being the ultimate battery bank maintainer ... rain or shine, day or night. This is even a great solution with current liquid or AGM lead acid battery technology.
However inefficient, or otherwise undesirable, generator power may be ... it's power is priceless in curtain situations. Beyond the obvious air conditioning for pets and overall comfort, a generator can also fill in to suppy emergency electrical heat if other propane heating systems should ever fail in cold weather.
Some of us refuse to own an RV that is limited to mostly sunny days, cool-enough air temperatures at low altitudes, or high-enough altitudes. It's especially a shame that motorized RV manufacturers don't install their expensive built-in generators such that they are more quiet and vibration-free to use ... which does not take rocket science engineering or money to do.
