Thanks for the link. I am thinking a bit too much about inverters, but:

1) Go small to start, use a 200-300 W inverter, run the TV, DVD player, and the HDMI splitter, About 86 watts
-OR-
2) Use a re-purposed true sine UPS hacked to permit connecting to the house batteries for extended use (has a transfer switch all it's own...)
3) when either the above is not enough (making electric coffee or using the microwave or hairdryer) move to a 2kW inverter and either 2, 6-volt golf cart batteries or build a big lithium pack to run it all...

And, BTW, keeping with the original thread, our Diesel 2020 Gemini 23TW is averaging 15.1 MPG driving around Missouri....
