Prevost conversions almost always run dual 24 volt and 12 volt systems. They use a Vanner Voltmaster battery equalizer. You do have to be careful in a retrofit to make sure the 12 volt and 24 volt systems are isolated from each other and marked so that you don't inadvertently wire 12 volt systems into a 24 volt line.
Wiring the chassis batteries in series you will get the 24 volts you need. You could add a 12 volt alternator to charge the existing house batteries which are wired in parallel. You would have to disconnect the solenoid that allows you to merge the battery banks since they would be at different voltages now. The devil is in the details but it is doable.
