Flat iron and hair dryer take way too much current to ever run off of an inverter, unless it is connected to a MASSIVE array of batteries. If she needs either of those items, you need to plug into a 120v source, either a generator or shore power at a pedestal in a campground. Also, even a 12v coffee maker will run your battery down very fast. Use an old fashioned coffee pot on a stove burning propane.
I have a 30 amp RV and have to turn off all of the other high power draws (air conditioner/water heater) if DW wants to use her hair dryer.
As others have pointed out, you can not use a battery powered inverter to run a converter to charge the battery. Again, you are looking at solar or a 120v source, and solar won't cut it for the high current draw items you named.
