You can't power a battery charger with an inverter from the same battery bank and expect to get ahead.....That is impossible! You would end up 30% in the hole minus whatever the truck will trickle back there.
More available battery power, reduced consumption, or supplemental charging are the only solutions. I'm a big fan of solar if the sun shines in your area.
It is quite possible like wwest suggested above that one cell is bringing the whole bank down too, but regardless.....You need more storage than 120Ah to power a decent RV with minimal generator run time.
100W solar is enough for storage, but 200w+ would be better for boondocking.
Sorry, neglected to fully state: The inverter is to be powered from the TV while underway. Then the PD can supply whatever voltage level is needed to charge the "house" battery set.
I guess one could do that, but a 1,000 watt inverter isn't going to power a PD80 converter. Better off installing larger cable on the TV.
