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 seems like you could be on shore power and inverter at the same time making 240v but only if you went out of your way to do that of course.
Using the shore cord itself to plug into the inverter instead of the extra 120v wire would mean you can't ever get 240v because you can only plug the shore cord into one place at a time (inverter, portable gen, pedestal)
The extra wire may be so the cargo bay door can be kept closed and locked while on inverter. I put a cable hatch in that door to pass the shore cord through to plug it into the inverter. So now the door can stay locked (although every Rver in the world has the key! :) )
