One large inverter or 2-3 small ones?
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...

Thanks everybody...this looks like an easier way to do it.
So by using the Amp-L-Start, the big bank would never be attached directly to the 12V panel...only to the inverter. Then the Amp-L-Start would be attached between the inverter/charger and the new bank...or in other words, TO the new bank. That means when I'm not plugged in, the new bank is supplying power directly to the old battery. When I'm off-grid and not using the inverter, the power flow would be NewBank>Amp-L-Start>OldBattery>12vDistro...much more efficient than what I described above.
And when I'm plugged into shore power, the inverter would be charging the new batteries, and the old battery would be charged via the Amp-L-Start. I'm guess I should still unplug the converter when using the Amp-L-Start, correct?
And I understanding all this right?
