I think the three "take away's" at least for me are:

1. Locate the inverter close to the battery bank and use "very large" wiring to connect the inverter to the battery and run an extension cord to where power is wanted.
2. Using a couple of "mobile inverters" in the 100-150 watt range that plug into lighter sockets can power a TV or USB charger and cost much less than a "big permanent inverter".
3. Wiring a separate 110 VAC outlet to a "dedicated inverter" is a workable solution and a good alternative to providing power to the entire trailer AC system and only requires changing where the AC appliance or TV is plugged in.

As a "kicker" with only 2 golf cart batteries (that's what I have) don't expect to watch TV for 2 or 3 hours and perk a pot of coffee in the morning. There's just not enough "juice in that small of a battery bank" especially if you need to keep the refrigerator and water pump working.
