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...

Everybody knows to install the inverter close to the battery. That's because the inverter won't work when the cable resistance is high. On the other hand, the converter will still work. It's just that the charging rate will be extremely slow. People think their 60A converter will charge the battery at 60A. With factor cabling, it's not unusual to see max current of only 22A!
This converter is only 7 feet from the battery. But it has about 20 feet of 6 awg cable, making charging woefully inadequate for dry camping when charging with generator.
