electrical outlets not working on battery power

I have a viking tent trailer. Is this normal for battery power only? Planning on buying solar or generator for dry camping to charge cell phones, laptop, etc. Outlets do work when shoreline is hook...

Will want to connect:
cell phones OK
ipods OK
ipad OK
curling iron NOPE
laptop OK
keurig coffeemaker NOPE
and if possible small microwave, haha. NOPE

Use propane to heat stuff (coffee etc).

You can actually avoid the inverter by using DC Car chargers for the phones, iPad, laptop etc.

As for the curling iron... Hey! You're CAMPING!!
