Recommendations for Low Battery Disconnect

What solar controller? Many have load outputs with LVD. If your controller has a load output you may be able to use that directly, for just the 300W inverter (~30 A load).

This is what I thought. However, the "experts" on another RV forum claimed that an inverter could not be attached to the load side of the controller despite the fact that the load rating was 720 watts (60 amp) and the peak inverter draw for the 300 watt inverter is 500 watts. They claimed things would go up in smoke. I became skeptical of their self proclaimed expertise when they suggested placing the inverter near the entertainment center and making the long 12v run to the batteries even after I told them that I was set up to make the run to the entertainment center on the 120v side. That is why I thought I would see what the folks here might be doing.

I spoke to one of the electrical engineers at Samlex a few minutes ago and he said that as long as the charger was rated for a load greater than 500 watts, he did not see an issue.
