Does a toyhauler not lend itself well to a parallel system? Because the 12v loads can be quite large? The genny pulls over 100a and ive read my emergency trailer brakes pull 6a each and its a triple axle. So for that example you need to maintain a healthy 12v battery instead of a buffer battery. If you only need 500-1500w of inverter would it be best to have a single 12v battery bank?The beauty of parallel systems (48v and 12v), is that the 12v system isn't pulling/supporting any huge loads, so it's componentry is small and dedicated to all the 12v loads that others have listed in this thread.
Also in this example if i can ditch the 12v lead acid batteries on the tongue i could later put a mini split there. With lithium 12v batteries inside the trailer behind my distribution panel. Its under the fridge so i could put a fan into the fridge duct to expel heat during the summer. (again hope this info can help others and the OP too...down the road will make my own build thread with questions)
