You are going to find out that heating things with electricity takes a lot
of it. That is why gas is used on boats, mobile homes, etc for things that
heat. And why most people run their gensets when using appliances. AC's
use a lot of power too but you might get away with it. Consider this, a
1200 watt electric heater is drawing 10 amps at 120 volts. Drop the voltage
down to 24 volts and now you need 50 amps. I will not tell you it is
impossible but you will need a lot of batteries.

On my new boat I will have a powerfull 24VDC battery bank charged by a
diesel generator and auxiliary sources.

I did a bit of search but couldn't find much- are there any 24 VDC
appliances such as cooker/oven, fridge, AC and water heater you could
recommend?

I know I can run standard items through power inverter but I would
prefer not to do it for the sake of reliability/efficiency/cost. I want
to go totally electric (no gas)
