12v 'stuff' is available everywhere including LA 12V batteries. If something goes wrong on the vehicle charging system the service battery and solar can be rigged to power the vehicle. If the service battery system fails the engine battery can be used tempory to power critical loads.
It's unlikely you will find a 24 volt battery to fit your limited space.
I would be concerned that it may be possible, due to item failure, design mistakes, wiring errors or equipment connected to both vehicle and service power, to inject 24 volts into the vehicle electrical system.
General comments, 12/24 volt hair driers and kettles are useless.
Battery monitoring , Smart Shunt or similar is useful.
Storing additional 300 watts of panel sounds impractical.
