So as I get closer to adding solar (or at least a larger battery bank) to my RV, I have more questions than I started with! Big thanks to the folks who have helped me along so far. I found a great...

Reposition the 1000w inverter you have now close to the new battery bank for best wiring (short,fat) Rig a way to plug the shore power cable into the 1000w inverter so it can be done while driving down the road. (turn off the converter when the shore power cord is in the inverter--you lose more than you are putting in if the converter is left on)
Probably means run a 120v wire extension from the inverter to a new receptacle in the shore cord compartment.
Now you can run the fridge on the 1000w while driving if you chose to not use propane for that (safety issue for many people--up to you) The alternator charging helps make up what the fridge uses, AFAIK--I have a trailer.
The kids can then watch TV in the back while you are driving if they get bored looking at the passing scenery and learning stuff.
