Your going to need 2 batteries im fairly sure and you will need a regulator to step down the voltage for things like the radio and heater/ac controls.

Unless you have easy access to that equipment I would look at other methods of lighting?

Nah, you'd just wire your 12V stuff off of one battery. (But a 2 battery setup would still have it's wiring/charging issues)

Look at it this way, big rigs do the same thing for the 12v accessories. Pull them off of *one* battery rather than the full battery pack setup

I got these for way less than any of those options would have cost me. No, I didn’t steal them.

I’m going to run a pair of small 12/24v DC step up transformers to power only the lights. Should be easy enough once I decide on the right one. Amazon.com has plenty to choose from.

i thought the LED lights had a built in regulator to be powered with either 12 or 24 volts....i am sure i read that somewhere

It depends.

The lights I have are available in 12v, 24v, and 12/24v. Mine are the 24v version.
