Next we need higher voltage power storage and system options in our RVs.

Since a large lithium-battery house system probably should not be charged from the vehicle's alternator, there is no reason I can see why a second stand-alone system couldn't be utilized today with whatever voltage was preferred. I'd personally pick 48 Volts since most of the energy will go to power a large inverter, and 48 Volts will most likely become the next standard DC voltage.

The overall system architecture could be very similar to what's being done to switch cars from 12 to 48 Volts. Large loads would be on 48-Volt side, with low energy users remaining on 12 Volts. The rest is just engineering details.
