Adding Inverter for dry camping
I would like to add an additional battery (have one group 27 now), possibly a solar charging system and an inverter. I hate that the 120V outlets don't work on battery power. Seems crazy you can't...

You need to do a lot more research into what you plan.
This is a link to an excellent discussion of 12 Volt systems; part 2 of the discussion goes into inverters. You need to thoroughly read and understand this before you go further.

With 2 #27 batteries, you can't run more than the entertainment center for a few hours at a time. Maybe a SMALL microwave for a few minutes to warm up things, not to cook.
300 watts or so of solar would be enough to keep the 2 #27's charged for most uses.
