Wiring into the entire coach would require another large transfer switch to select between shore/genny (the existing transfer switch) and the inverter... Inverters with built in transfer switch cannot handle that current in 'pass thru' mode.

The most common RV inverters can handle a 15A load - 50% of a 30A rig (bit not A/C) - and only 15% of a '50A' rig (really two 50A 110 circuits or 100A of 110v).

Typically used on a single circuit (output from battery and 110v circuit breaker goes into inverter with built in transfer switch) - or for multiple circuits a larger inverter and 110v feeding a subpanel - again with appropriate transfer switch included or separate.)
