Most of that can avoid the inverter...
LED lights should already be 12v... I installed a couple of 12v fans (kitchen and bedroom)... and a 12v TV in bedroom.
If we really need the microwave or DW wants her coffee in the morning - starting the genny for a few minutes is a much cheaper solution.
Can easily make a long weekend on the 2 coach batteries.

I've stayed away from the inverter route (other than a small portable that I haven't used in 3 years...) Adding battery capacity may - and changing battery chemistry will - require a new converter/charger in addition to the batteries. The cost is higher than the benefit in my mind...

Now having a residential fridge changes the equation for benefit - but I haven't gone there yet...
