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...

It would be 120V in parallel.
I can't possibly have both connected at the same time because the only time I use the inverter is when there is no other power and DW wants to watch TV for the evening or run a fan. When I do use it I want to get the inverter off of the battery as soon as I can so I'll have it disconnected before I'm in bed.
