I did this on my coach and it works well, except you will need a large enough set of coach batteries to keep it fed.
The Norcold will eat up 30 amps an hour, every hour. Run it off the batteries for 24 hours and you have effectively eaten up 720 AMPs of battery power.
That's a bigger hit than most of us can take.
And don't forget the overhead of running an inverter all that time. Mine eats up 5 amps an hour, so that's another 120 amps.
