***Link Removed***Hello, I recently purchased a 2006 Thor Wanderer 30' travel trailer. I was disappointed that I could only run my cpap machine when the trailer is plugged in. I also dislike rv parks, and I really want to spend my time elsewhere, and preferably not plugged in all the time. I am going to put two 100 W solar panels on top. They come with a mounting kit and a charge controller. I thought about just hooking them up to charge the battery, but that doesn't do much for me, because I still can't run my cpap when I am not plugged in. So I was thinking of connecting them to a second deep cycle battery (I have a place for it up front), then using the second deep cycle battery to power an inverter that I would plug into the 30 amp plug that would normally go to external power. My wife also has a cpap, and we like to spend time on our laptops. I put together a picture of what I was thinking. I need some help from someone proficient in electronics to advise me on this. I don't have a lot of money, and I am not physically able to do crawl around the insides of the trailer reconfiguring things. So I came up with this, hoping that it would not all blow up! I am unsure of the size of inverter I need. I would like to just put a 3000W one on, but they are expensive. The 1000W inverter was much cheaper. Also, I am wondering if I need three panels. I am guessing that 3 panels and a 3000W inverter, on a sunny day, would allow me to run everything just as if I was plugged into power. But I don't want to spend that kind of money if I can avoid it.
