Yep, that's a great compromise. 40V, 56V, 80V, 48V outdoor power tools use the same voltage for many of the same reason (they're slowly moving away from 18V battery packs for anything high-power). Maybe after a few decades, RV suppliers will standardize on 48V DC lighting circuits, a standard 48V DC receptacle, and provide fans and smoke detectors and pumps and sensors and so on that run on 48V DC. Integrated circuits will emerge in quantity designed to rectify 48V down to whatever the LED drivers and microcontrollers and so on use, and eventually compete in economies of scale with those used in the 12V automotive world. But good luck finding those parts today.
