I can chime in here with my two cents, are i am currently planning my FWC build.
Here is the current inverter setup i have run in 3 trucks now with not a single issues and hundreds of uses.
Can be done 2 ways, but both require a second battery:
-Isolator switch, many brands, i use "Perfect Switch" made right here in San Diego
-Isolator connects to alternator on one end and the main and aux batteries on the other end
-Isolator charges whichever battery needs more juice while youre driving
-Isolator prevents load to aux from draining main, ie, if youre running a fridge for a week in the desert and it drains the aux battery, the main isnt effected, and potentially leaving you stranded
-Inverter, many options here. I run the Xantrex 2000 Watt SINE inverter. This will (and has) power a decent microwave, hair dryer, etc..
-SINE inverters are generally more expensive, but have special circuitry in them to prevent damage to electronics, cheap ones can damage sensitive electronics. You'll need to google "SINE vs NON Sine Inverters" for a better explanation, i am not an electrical engineer.
Now.... SOLAR...
My current truck is the first truck i have installed Solar On. I am running (2) 100 WATT renogy panels right to the aux battery.
My truck isn't my daily driver and only gets driven when i am out exploring, at least 2x a month. It sometimes sits for weeks at a time without being started.
With that being said, i haven't shut my fridge off in over a year, and the solar provides more than enough juice to keep the big Aux bat fully charged.
Sooooo... Looking back at the build,,, I may have not even needed the isolator whatsover, the solar has run flawless for 2 years now. The entire aux system could be wired to solar only and be its own entity.
Thats my .02
Happy to help with this, i have no life other than my truck and camping! hahahaha
