Adding Inverter for dry camping
I would like to add an additional battery (have one group 27 now), possibly a solar charging system and an inverter. I hate that the 120V outlets don't work on battery power. Seems crazy you can't...

That is modified sine wave that could cause trouble with coffee maker electronic controls and I have heard Apple products don't like the MSW. Most things do work fine on MSW. I recommend SW because everything works as designed.
If the 120v power run is long consider a separate transfer switch so you do not have to pull wire both ways.
Initial post was about small items... coffee maker is about 800 to 1500 watts depending on model. So a little more involved pulling wire.
I recommend a small transfer switch for each branch circuit you want powered vs the additional sub panel you mentioned above.
