I don't know your layout but I've installed plenty of inverters in plenty of offroad vehicles.
A plastic ammo can at harborfreight.com mounted UNDER THE FLOOR will not take up any room inside the coach, be perfectly waterproof and very very easily accessed.
There's lots of unutilized room under that coach.
Place a switch and a dedicated plug wherever you want those inside your coach.
There is no need to ever access the inverter except to replace it if it blows out.

Also:
A coffee machine might not let an inverter run on just one battery.
Start the coach or install an additional battery.

And
Go bigger on the inverter.
'right sizing' an inverter means buying one at least twice as big as you think you'll need.

And
at 12v output, you can drop a LOT of volts and still run everything made in America to run on 110/120v.
While wire size is important and you should go bigger if possible, don't fret a few feet or even double the length over what is said to be needed.
And
That four feet of wire included is a nicety only. Don't limit yourself to that length because it was thrown into the kit.
