Still on the fence about how best to do it.
My highest priority is the outlet under the TV in the living room to power my coffee maker.
In my thinking the most logical place to put it is in the cabinet with the water tank. I assume that's where you're thinking...close to battery, but a trick to get the power back to the breaker box/converter. I could just add an outlet up in the counter above and be done. Might work well enough for me....but it would be better to power some other outlets too.
so, the easiest I think is back under the bed and just accept the voltage drop.
That's what I did for the solar....landed the solar output onto the battery side of the house disconnect relay. Not perfect but it works well.

how/where are you planning to put your solar?
I'm still working things out. I have the roof laid out but not to scale. Measures are correct. Visually, it's off. The antenna cable drops through the roof and I'd like to follow that. It drops me down into an overhead very near the void.

I need to measure the component compartment and make sure everything fits. If I had a CAD program, this would be easier.
