Generally speaking you only want small appliances, TV's etc to run off an inverter.

It would be easiest there for a small inverter, but most coaches only have a 50 Amp DC breaker between the batteries and converter and wire sized for that current, so that would be a bad idea for any inverter bigger than about 400 watts - and that's pushing it as there are other DC loads to consider.
