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.
It would be 120V in parallel.
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)That is what I originally did but I didn't like the shore cord out while in a parking lot. I have clean access into the basement for the cord but I didn't like pulling the cord out of the mouse hole, attach the 20A adapter, having the cord exposed while WM camping, etc. I found it easier to open the hatch, plug in the inverter and done. I have been careful with turning the converter off but I have forgot to turn it back on once.
