Tone of info here http://tnttt.com/viewforum.php?f=30 . From super simple to over the top
I've been researching this quite a bit for our Voyager Camper. There's a number of resources that show you some easy to follow solar-to-battery-to-inverter setups. Here's one link I pulled a lot of good information on: https://www.outsidesupply.com/rv-solar-guide/
Select a good MPPT controller to keep your batteries from being overcharged. The Renogy ones are a great choice. That's what we selected.
Our setup is going to run:
2x 160W solar panels
Renogy MPPT solar charge controller
2x 100Ah batteries
1 800w (peak) inverter for light electronics.
I'll have to look and see if I have a soft copy of the wiring diagram. If I find one, I'll ship it off to you, but there are plenty of great examples on the web.

If you plan to do things right I would recommend starting with this.

It's not the MOST gripping read but it has tons of good information and will help you to achieve a better final product.
