Currently researching for a future build an looking at electrical options. My end goal is to go full electric for everything in the camper, the camper will be a hard sided pop-up on a full size domestic truck and capable of primary winter use. The major power draw will be a small heat pump system for heating. The winter use will be weekends so need to heat for 2 full nights.
Most people their biggest power draw is trying to run an air conditioner. In looking into how much power is needed and how to keep it charged I've come across the idea of a hybrid 48v - 12v system.
Safiery in Australia has posted info on this on their site.
The key to the system is a 3000kw bi-directional DC-DC converter.
For my main usage solar is nearly useless as a charging source so the ability to re-charge in short time via alternator is attractive.
Anyone else looking at 48v systems?

If the continuous current is greater than 100 Amp, then there is potentially a lot of power loss. There is not only power loss but heat. Heat expands
