Sounds good. Do you have a suggestion on where to buy batteries. Shipping is expensive, so I was hoping to find somewhere local. (Denver, CO)
There is Sams, which has Duracel

How to Run a 24V battery bank in an RV?

Close, but no cigar. try this out (you left out the hour spec)
6v x 200 ah = 1200wh x 4 = 4800 watt hour battery pack. Erase the words "power bank" - there is no such thing.
If you are in an RV, that is a unique situation, where a lot of gear is pre-installed and wired for 12V. No promises it's been done right, heavy gauge wire is expensive.
Your engine has a nice big alternator that can put more charge into the battery in a half hour, than a whole roof full of PV could do in a day. Remember that when counting panels, mounting holes into the roof, and hoping it's done so it wont blow off in a wind as you hurtle down the road at 65mph
12V @ 400ah can be done with 2 big L16 size 6v batteries, wired in series. fewer caps to check for water, cables to check for coming loose, and less parts to mess withLeave a comment:

How to Run a 24V battery bank in an RV?
So, paralleling batteries is bad. I want to run a 4800 watt power bank. This seems to require a 24V or 48V battery bank. My question is how do you run a 24V or 48V battery bank in an RV when everything is run of 12VDC? I assume you would have to start by replacing the converter. How do you convert it to 12V and does this make sense?
Thanks,
Derek
