Solar Novice Needs Direction
I keep dreaming up possible modifications for my TT that are sometimes excellent and other times "crazy". Now, the subject is solar. I use two 12 volt deep cycle batteries wired in series to pow...

Well...you can't stack them to provide 1100 watts of capacity to a single outlet. But you can certainly hook them both up and operate them independently but simultaneously. But with only 2 batteries, their charge isn't going to last long with 1100 watts of AC demand via inverters placed on them. Smaller loads would be fine.
I use my inverters a bit differently. I plug my shore power cable directly into an inverter outlet, switch my converter off, and power the whole TT via the inverter. That way all the AC outlets in the camper are live. I also switch off breakers for the air conditioner and microwave so they aren't accidentally turned on and trip the inverter breaker. The fridge and water heater are set on propane. Usually I just need enough AC power to run the TV and some battery chargers and fans, so I use the 300 watt inverter because it is more efficient for those smaller loads. But if I want to try and run a bigger load like a rice cooker or waffle maker, I have the option of the 1500 watt inverter.
