Solar assistance
I have a solar panel that is rated at 315w@9a. My converter in the camper is a BW Model 6406, which apparently means it will allow me to run off of batteries for my electrical needs, but will not char...

Aside from fuses and cables you need 4 basic components. Panels, batteries, solar charge controller and inverter to make your 120v power. Your solar charge controller will need to be an mppt type to deal with the high voltage panel you have. For cheap units many like the epever. For a quality unit I like Victron.
As far as batteries I would go with a pair of 6v true deep cycle like Trojans if they fit your compartment. I also recommend a shunt based battery monitor. Again Victron makes a good one.
As far as inverters you need to calculate your max draw and size. 1000 Watts should be more than enough for your battery capacity.
Keep cable lengths from battery to inverter as short as possible. Use a voltage drop calculator to determine correct gauge of cable.
